Joan is used to withdrawing, folding in on herself and shutting everyone out, throwing herself into work. Sherlock has seen this first hand, and has helped her through it, often with her considerable resistance. But Ted is different.

And his comment emphasizes that.
"I missed you too," she murmurs, just as sadly, her head still resting on his chest as he lathers her hair with shampoo.
