you they are running late for something it is best to leave them alone. That is the cue you didn't pick up on. While it may have looked like all she was doing was getting ready to leave her brain was probably going a million miles an hour thinking about being late, meeting with the co-worker etc., she wasn't focused on what you were saying and your talking became an annoyance because it was interrupting her thoughts. No need to take it personally as a reflection on what she thinks of your friendship, she would probably react the same way to anyone else who behaved the same way. That's my take on it.
