What would you do?

I'd help your friend. If the guy is worthwhile, he will understand.
Then you can make it up to him by cooking for him at a later time.

Looks like you've made the right decision! I would have done the same. ;) Hopefully he really understands.

Hope your friend gets to feeling better and back on her feet.

What a great person you are Sue to think of a friend like that. That shows what kind of person you really are. That's so cool. Good for you. :)
I hope it works out with the guy later if you want it to ;)
