You planned her first independent close when NONE of you are available in case something happens, and even I know she's not ready. It would be a case of "Do your own job and keep your mouth shut" except I'll be the one who deals with the consequences and picks up any slack. I'm half expecting her to back out, and if she does, one of YOU had better pick it up, and NOT make M do it. You're on the verge of losing her already. And if I DO end up basically running things, I'd better get praise and not punishment for not "staying in my lane" or you'll lose me too. And we ALL know you can't afford that.
