Hi everyone
So this matter has been resolved -- and surprisingly amicably.
First off -- the money has been refunded (After actually communicating I told her to keep it, but she insisted)
Second, the delay in the refund from last week was my fault. I requested that she hold off payment until I could clear something up, which brings me to:
So Kate's initial reaction to my post was pretty angry, and in her initial anger she said something to me that caught me completely off-guard (which I've mentioned before) and that's a suggestion that I am or was smoking meth. It took me completely by surprise because it is not even close to being true. Its also a very odd thing to throw out just randomly without any basis even if you are angry, so I've been playing Sherlock Holmes these last few days and trying to figure out what the hell.
Turns out that around the time that this all went down this particular rumour had circulated about me. Some time before this I had been friends (by association) with someone who was a user but I never used myself (besides the fact that I don't want to, it would be particularly life threatening given my health concerns, and anyway I undergo random but frequent drug tests at work because we often consult for clients with extremely sensitive information). But somewhere along the line that transmogrified into a rumour that I was using with her. I have no idea why, but I do have a pretty good idea of who started it (it wasn't Kate).
Which brings me back to this thread: Kate's standing me up. The sudden 180 from getting on well to "I don't feel comfortable seeing you" finally makes sense. Despite the conclusions that some have joyously leapt to, I am not a creeper/stalker. I have not mistaken a transactional arrangement for love. I know exactly what this is, and I respect the boundary which is partly why I found the whole situation so bizarre and wanted an explanation. She probably should have called/messaged me that day (and she has apologised for that) but given that she may well have been not just uncomfortable but actually afraid maybe that is also understandable.
As far as the deposit is concerned: I have been absolutely convinced that there is no doubt from the whatsapp conversations that it was clear that it was a deposit for the overnighter. Only one person took me up on my offer to share the whatsapps and that person has pointed out to me that there is enough ambiguity in at least one of the threads for somebody to mis-interpret it, especially when you remember that Kate's first language is not English. So on that point, it looks like it could really be just a miscommunication.

Perhaps she will start a new because her reputation has been tarnished.

Soap Operas run for decades much to the eager anticipation of their audiences.
