JM was probably in a bind, put on the spot while busy with her daughter at a pageant. I imagine if a conversation did happen (and we know TS is not great with dates), then JM would have said I cannot meet before the 18th, which EJ decided she would leave then, and wait for JM. JM had her daughter...she couldn't just up and leave her. She would have had to take her own daughter back home, then arrrange things or go back to SA. MOO.
Am I missing something? I didn't see where JM said she was going to be at the pagent with her daughter. Her shuttle posting just says "we". Spectators and "others" may go to the pagents, too....:banghead:
