You ask
“She said she's fine, but she clearly isn't. How do I get her home?”
Steady suggests
Say: “You don't have to be fine today. Would it help to take the afternoon? I'll cover your work.”
Do: talk privately, offer a choice rather than an order, and arrange a ride if needed.
Avoid: asking her to explain how she's feeling in front of others.
