"Oh, I will take a cab," she answered, rubbing her neck at the sudden change in atmosphere.

She sensed that he was angry and upset that she was going to the mixer. Although, she was unsure why.

Was it because of her being kind of sick?

Was he scared that she would faint again like the last time?
