Answer to: "why didn't you hear it from ME?"

[Flight]

I took it that a friend would do that for another friend and it didn't have to be an attempt to push a connection beyond courtesy. She seemed to be surprised I waited up so late, but thanked me for the help then and again in the morning. I just unloaded the car and put her stuff in the room, asked about the flight, and told her goodnight. It was a positive.
