I'd say talk to her. You never know - maybe she has a gripe against you that you're not even aware of.

I came home from college one time and there was an old junky tank on a trailer out back I hadn't seen before. Dad made a joke about using "drip gas" out of that old tank.. Drip used to be free for the taking/stealing around a lot of oil/gas wells out in this area as sort of a waste product...

I was SHOCKED because I though he meant he helped himself to some drip gas out of a compressor station down in one of his fields... He is as honest as any man I've ever known.

It wasn't until 10-15 years later he made a chance, offhand comment about that old tank again - and remarked he had bought that at a farm sale - and didn't realize it was full of drip gas until he got home with it...

I was really relieved to finally know the whole story - but was very shocked to realize how easy misconceptions could happen where you'd never even know the whole story until you dig a little.
