Richard.

Give her a big hug. She obviously knows you well.

She loves you. She wants you to enjoy the trip. So she looks after your heart. Knows the strain of receiving a quick fright.

She understands how the human psyche works, and how seeing and hearing the things that go bump in the night would have been just too much for you.

And she was also smart not to let you take the ghost tour either...

enjoy your trip...

You've got a lot of work to do later...

PS. BOO!
