I waited an hour and a half for her. Then when I said something to her about being so late, she said you’re free to leave at any time if you wanna go now you can after I’ve waited an hour and a half and she finally comes in to see me. I’m gonna leave then I don’t know. I thought that was rude. She said we’re not holding you hostage.
