We have never asked or loaned money to each other but if they did ask we would in a minute. I texted her what happened I did not want her to talk about it in front of her family. She has yet to reply. Would you just pay the bill or let them take care of it when they get home. I know that this has to be embarrassing. But things happen and I am not sure how to handle it.
If you can afford it, I would pay her bill..No strings attached..Sometimes money is just too tight and every one needs a helping hand sometimes..It could be that with everything going on, she may of forgot to pay it and will pay you back when she gets home..
