I truly believe that, because she had initially “gotten her way” (for lack of a better phrase), even though it may have only been for a few seconds, she had no reason to argue with me and, therefore, no reason to fight. Basically, when she asked to come off the rail, I told her, Sure, let’s go. That defused the situation right from the start. Because I was willing to meet her halfway, I believe it was easier for her in the long run to comply with what was being asked.
