As it is, they're both mutually reeling from bitter words and bitter questions. There's not a hell of a lot Jolie can do other than deflect at this rate, and she can only hope the constant deflections don't make her seem either suspicious or vapid and cold. It warrants a bit of a pensive moment for her and she ducks her head a little, trying not to look guilty and wracking her brain for an appropriate segue into something less troublesome to talk about.
It looks like Jack has other ideas, though. She nearly reels away from the hand, she should reel away from the hand. Instead, she's very much stuck in place with her brows arched almost all the way into her wig. Even if she's frozen in place, the fingers against her jaw are enough to send a shiver down her spine. The vulnerability is just barely visible to her, and it's part of what keeps her locked in when Jack leans far too far into her personal space.
Despite all signs pointing toward it, the kiss startles her enough to make her exhale a muffled sound of surprise against Jack's lips. She raises a hand to his chest as if to push him off, but she doesn't manage to get that far before she betrays herself and leans in the slightest bit. Just enough for Jack to know it isn't unwanted but brief enough for him to know it's not possible.
Finally, she gives him a little push backward and puts a hand almost too daintily over her lips. For once, she's at a complete loss for words until she raises a finger at him and waggles it. "No no no. Not allowed." She probably could have handled that better.
