An invitation with a cancellation policy
Deb wants company, but suddenly her perfectly healthy boiler looks like a useful excuse. Rosie's question separates the evening from the entrance. Asking Sue to meet outside turns the part Deb dreads into something they can do together, and they stay for an hour and a half.
What Rosie brings to the conversation
The joke gives Deb room to admit two feelings at once: wanting to see people and wanting a way out. Rosie follows the specific worry instead of treating either feeling as the whole story.

Deb: I've spent all week hoping someone would invite me out.
Rosie: And now?
Deb: I'm hoping they cancel.
Rosie: You wanted an invitation with a cancellation policy.
Deb: Exactly. Finally, someone understands the system.
Deb: I'm considering a boiler emergency. It works, but I don't want to limit its ambitions.
Rosie: Which bit are you dreading: the evening, or walking through the door?
Deb: The door. Everyone already chatting. Me standing there, trying to look like I'm waiting for someone instead of wondering where to put myself.
Deb: I asked Sue from choir to meet outside. We stayed an hour and a half.
Rosie: And the boiler?
Deb: Recovered beautifully. Never even knew it was ill.
