ADDITION [9:38pm]: How frustrating. I just called to find out what she plans to do and she asked if I could call her back in a few mins as she was just leaving work.

We’re sticking around – in fact, Cara is even flying in tomorrow night – she wants to be here to “help.” She’s not fooling anybody, she wants to be here because she can’t stand to miss out on the excitement.
