This is where things started to go wrong for me. I like to touch her while receiving HR. The skin to skin is important for me and gets me going even if it's over her clothes. Given where she was sitting you can reach at all...
I'm exactly the same way. When I was getting close I had her move up to my side, and from there I grabbed her tits (over her shirt), and just the feeling of her small fleshy tits in my hands turned me on to the point of cumming. I do this whenever a provider is too far; I always ask them to move closer so I can grope their tits and ass over the clothes (although I don't specify the last part, but just do it). With a single exception, who got a negative, they always accommodate.
I think Clare is significantly more skilled with the hands at both massage and HE, but Annie offers a lot more of the extras, body-to-body, oily titwank, etc. The shop should be back open in about 5 weeks, and I presume Annie will be first there.
