Just theorizing, but maybe she started the wait, then got preoccupied with something mentally or physically (I've seen people balance their checkbooks at traffic lights), and just didn't notice the passage of time, or was content to wait? I've heard that some ADD folks can distract themselves with so many different mental channels, or, alternatively, get so focused on one task that they really don't notice time passing.
