her in front of the cameras and off the plane. That looks like an exasperated shove to go on then and leave her alone. I’m just taking into account the stress of travel and constant cameras and the pressure especially on women to look good all the time. Maybe she needed more time to compose herself.

She shouldn’t have done that, and who will ever really know what it was about, but it looks like she was being rushed and didn’t like it. He is anxiously trying to get going, and she’s not ready.
