You act pleasant but not thrilled. You ignore the elephant in the room, which is now water under the bridge so to speak because its in the past. But, if it does come up, you just act matter of fact about it, like you would if she was an employee reporting to you. She dropped the ball. She’s not a close friend. Don’t involve her with any projects or deadlines in the future. I think the fact you aren’t close friends makes it much easier to deal with as there is less history and, therefore, expectations.

Easier said than done, I’m sure.
