I even had a solid opportunity for the last stand talk and I blew it! Just didn't have the balls to go for it !
Don't look at it like that! Look at it as more prep for your last stand talk. In fact, if you had brought up the talk now, it might have ruined an otherwise GREAT convo. Now you can let this POSITIVE interaction linger in her mind for 48 hours; let those seeds grow baby! I think it may be better that you didn't bring it up.
Will you see her in person Thursday?

Yep!

I was dying to hear if this came up, but I thin it clearly was appreciated.

I think the doubts are there. Not sure if she will postpone the D, but you've got nothing to lose and it can only help you (even if it is a post-D scenario). Way to go!!

Great analysis. I agree.
