The context of the following conversation is Taylor had come a long way to visit with their friends, and it was now late at night and Taylor was afraid to walk alone, so Alex walked Taylor back.:
Alex says I walked Taylor back home after her visit last night..
The friend responds Was it late?.
Alex responds Yes, it was late at night and dark so Taylor was afraid to walk alone..
The friend responds That's understandable..
Alex responds It did mean that I had to walk back from her place to mine which meant I didn't get to sleep until very late..
The friend responds That's a shame Alex, but you did the right thing walking Taylor home..
