I’m leaning toward her meeting someone that night. I mean she just came back from a dear friend of the family’s tragic funeral, so she was probably exhausted physically and emotionally, yet she went out for some reason anyway.
Knowing she had to work early the next morning, I think she was excited about seeing this person, whoever it was.
She could’ve easily canceled and made plans another time, but she didn’t. MOO of course!
I'm thinking her plans evolved as she realized how late it was going to be by the time she made it back to Auburn that evening. College students usually meet up with someone that they're meeting for the first time in a low commitment scenario (we both have our own transportation, there's no expectation that either party has committed to spend an entire evening together). So maybe they were just meeting for a brief face-to-face on her route home from her brother's?
This would explain why she didn't go home/change/freshen up after dropping off her brother.
