Elly: ...Sigh. I never thought I'd be so happy to see a messy room! Connie: Cooking a big dinner tonight, El? Elly: Uh-huh. Elizabeth is here for the weekend! It was so sweet, Connie. She called from the university and said she missed us so much...she couldn't STAND it!! She missed my cooking, she missed the family and she wanted to sleep in her own bed. So, she got on the bus and drove half the night to get here! And you should have seen Edgar! He went crazy when she came in the door! She went around hugging everyone. She said she couldn't believe she was back!! Connie: That's wonderful, El... Where is she? Elly: I don't know. ...She hasn't been home since she got here!
She drove the bus? I think that should say she “rode” half the night.
