Then she said that she is sure that some friends of ours would be asking me over for a BBQ. She said that if they asked her, she wouldn't go. I asked why and she said because she is sure that the H of this couple isn't her friend anymore. I told her that wasn't true. She insisted that it was.

And, the correct response would be.. "I would like you to come along with me"
