But I also wanted to make it clear to anyone who needed it that I'm, a, available for questions and, b, ready to go to bat for their choice. Seems like you're good, though." She's not best pleased she accidentally annoyed Abby, but on the other hand it was probably not realistic to expect every conversation to be easy.
