You're assuming she actually cared enough to spare him more than a second thought. I imagine Marten was forgotten before she was out of the driveway.

Iunno, his rejection was enough to put her off balance on the phone, and the concern over their growing connection was enough to make her actively avoid him and move her plans up. I'd say he had a pretty reasonable effect on how she felt.

If anything, she's almost certainly devastated. For all we know, the departure was not quite a done deal and she only purchased the ticket at the last minute. Or maybe she was calling his bluff.
There is one possibility that now occurs to me: she hasn't left town. She is truly devastated and ANGRY. Marten will run into her and she will tear into him. There will be tears and rage. What there will not be is a reconciliation. Marten will realize he jumped the gun and will wind up miserable for weeks. Why might this happen? Because life is messy and we don't always get to wrap up our loose ends, and sometimes, when we do get them wrapped up, we realize they may have been better left untied.

... perhaps she changed her plans again after Marten shot her down.

seems a bit abrupt to do that. sticking around would have meant calling granny, her new landlord or whoever's place she was gonna crash at, her new job (assuming she'd gotten one), etc etc.
suddenly, basically out of the blue, deciding to leave less than a day after the call, after already changing all her plans so she could stay a bit longer... only thing i could think that would provoke a reaction like that would be a whole helluva mega asston more emotional turmoil than her previous acts portrayed.
