Answer: Contradictory

Explanation:

Kelsey displayed a contradictory nonverbal behavior. A contradictory behavior conveys a message from an individual which is different from their facial or emotional response, indicating to their listener that they are not saying the truth.

Kelsey message is different from her emotional reaction. The reality of it is she really wants him not to go or she wants to join him to go and she is not saying so verbally but her emotions are.
