I wasn't sure what she meant - it could simply be something that people say (not that she actually had something else she wanted to talk to me about), or that she didn't want to talk in front of her friends (perhaps because she hasn't told them about the engagement), or maaaaaybe she actually did want to have a word with me about her daughter and the guy. We did not end up talking later; I didn't feel like coming up to her again because I didn't want to act like I wanted to have a serious discussion, and she didn't approach me either, although she gave me a look on her way out.
So there may just be a glimmer of hope...
