doodler, I understood. Could be anything.

Anotherstander, thanks, I'm a little proud of how I handled. Not to mention the fact that I didn't take ownership of her mood. I like your suggestion. I will have to prepare for hearing about the feelings. I'm good at short interactions. I have to armor up for hearing how I am to blame etc.
I do want her to learn and feel safe opening up.

Personally, I am reading about emotionally distancing myself from challenges.
