You ask me, she puts it aside, reads it, and later realizes that Holden truly loves her and gives him a call. After months of painful meetings they get back together. At least, that's what I get from how much attention she paid him when he showed up. And the "just a guy I knew" bit is only to throw off her lesbian friend - after all, why make a scene there? She'd been through that shit before.
