At some point you have to indicate that she has had her opportunity to touch 1st and call the next batter which is an out or do you ask the "defense" do you have something to say before I call the next batter? It all boils down to when do you have the next batter?
If she touches 1B, nothing, she's safe. There is no rule prohibiting this. If she doesn't touch the base, you hesitate to see if there is any reaction from the defense. If there is, you allow it. If not, you call for the next batter and declare the out.
