Any disappointment Natsuru might have started to feel at the possible denial is quickly swept away by the rest of Veronica's statement. It's a wonder she isn't stunned absolutely speechless.

"O-oh... um... so do I..."

Her voice comes out stilted and awkward, and it's only after the words are out that she realizes what she said.

"I-... I mean it's nice! I'd... kind of like to touch you, too."

It's an honest admission, and innocent enough in the context she's thinking of. But her expression goes from slightly stunned to abject horror as the many ways that could be taken suddenly hit. It starts to feel like time is standing still as she panics over how Veronica might react, but she's still not coming up with an explanation fast enough!
