An hour would give her just enough time to make herself a bit more presentable, and to go over all the things that she would want to say. Things like, I'm really very sorry that I likely harmed you, and I'm not certain that I ACTUALLY want to know, but do you think that you could explain to me exactly what I did so that I know precisely what I'm feeling guilty for? Only somewhat less hostile. There had to be a way to make that properly contrite.
