I don't know, Caliguy, I think you did pretty good. You want to be friendly, treat her like a sister who is going through a hard time, right? That's what my DB coach said to me. It looks like that's what you did.

A hug can be warranted, and you said you didn't read that much into the hug, so you are in the right place to be, mentally. You set boundaries about what you expect during a respectful convo. So it sounds good to me.
