The context of the following conversation is Casey's car broke down but her suitcase was inside. She had to carry it very far.:
Casey says My car ran out of gas the other day on my way over the mountains..
The friend responds Wow, that sounds miserable..
Casey responds It was, and I had to walk 10 miles to the nearest gas station..
The friend responds Did you still end up delivering the goods in time?.
Casey responds I barely did, I carried them in my suitcase the whole time since I couldn't risk losing them..
The friend responds Good idea, our boss wouldn't be very happy if you'd lost them..
