So clearly she was upset...But I'm not sure why...???
This is your problem. It honestly doesnt matter why she is upset.

Sending this is a complete waste of your breath. Stop pursuing her to get all of the details of what she's thinking. 1) It doesnt matter, 2) Shes probably lying and 3) She doesnt even KNOW what it means.
If shes upset, LET HER BE UPSET.

NO. NO. NO.
You. Cant. Nice. Her. Back.
She will likely get upset, but you need to be calm, steady, and CONSISTENT. She's going to react how she's going to react. YOU need to act for what is right according to your moral code and whats best for you.
