Melanie had met Katie at the wedding, found they had a lot in common, and decided. to get together for lunch. She said Katie had given her her telephone number, but she had misplaced it.

Igave Melanie Katie's number then I told her I was hurt to think that she would make a date to see Katie without including me, whereupon she said I was "welcome" to join them for lunch.
