Of Course 
Not every conversation has to have an ending we find satisfactory, an ending is an ending after all. Something something Aristotle in his theory of Drama said we consider stories better if their is a reconciliation to the drama, that there is a catharsis.
But reality doesn't have to be that way, you can be calm and non perturbed and she can be the person who works herself into a lather but never gets a resolution to her feelings.
