>>81409607I like to think she'd initially try keeping a cold front up at first, only with some noticeable effort since she's been so deprived of physical affection for most (if not all of) her life.. But once she actually falls asleep herself - she'd amorously smother up against any warm body near her vicinity and never let go. Then, either pretend that never happened if she wakes up first, or angrily deny it if it's brought up against her the morning after.
From every other night on afterwards, she'd gradually soften up with her partner (assuming things go well with them outside the bedroom) until she's willing to consciously show physical affection to them like a normal/not emotionally stunted person... Probably not openly loving and sweet though, but she'd definitely try conveying it in her own way.
