Imgageer, there is no way we can figure our spouses out. We aren't mind readers. However, we can try to deduce what she is saying without actually using the correct words.
If you said the same thing to your W, i.e. the situation was reversed where you had your D with you and you told your W that your D really missed her, why would you say that? What are you really saying and why?
