A weird incident happened between me (30 M) and my partner (27F) today

Rant

My partner and I are in a relationship for more than 5 years now. We both work in different fields and rarely get time to visit our families.
This was one moment when we both decided to go visit our families but because we have cats we decided that we will go on different days when the other person is back.

So long story short today she was returning and it was my turn to go. We booked tickets such that we will both see each other at the airport and will spend around 1 hour together before leaving.

Unfortunately her flight got delayed for 40 mins and I was waiting for her at the arrivals. My flight was literally in 45 mins and I was yet to do security check-in.

So she called me when her flight landed, I asked her to just come to the exit gate so that I could see her. I pleaded to the security officer to just let me hug her once.

She came outside and when I tried to hug her, she drifted away saying that she has to get her bags.

We both are extremely touchy when we are in public but this was the first time when I felt weird. It felt like she didn't want to hug me. So we said bye and I went to catch my flight.

In her defence I think it was because she took an early morning flight.

Idk is it normal or am I over thinking this ?

I can't believe I am writing about this from an airport -_-
