I stopped by my wife's work to check on how she was feeling (read this thread - she is ill)
So this was your goal, to check on her. Did you tell her that? "I was across the street and had a minute and I wanted to check on how you were feeling." Let her talk, then ask her, "Is there anything I can do to help you?" She will tell you if she wants or needs anything. This is a win-win question.
More questions to ask: What did you learn today? Who did you help? What did you do for yourself?
Don't interrogate her but have a dialouge.
