Survival instinct kicked in bolstering her fortitude. "I should go. I'm supposed to be meeting someone. They'll be upset if I keep them waiting. I just came to grab us a drinks. Sorry if I've given you the wrong impression," she blurted out foolishly, hoping it was convincing enough for him to let her go. She really should not have come alone, "stupid, stupid". But self-blame could be saved for when she was safe and out of this situation.
