Not sure if this was mutual connection or just a one-day thing

I (M29) met a woman (F28) at a large outdoor event about a week ago. I was there with a group of friends, and she was part of another group we ended up spending time with during the day.

At first, we mostly just had casual small talk. Nothing particularly stood out. Later in the day, the weather suddenly turned bad with heavy rain and strong winds. I had something we could use for cover, so I offered to share it with her. She accepted, and we ended up staying close under it for a longer period of time. During that time, she was very physically close, hugging me and resting her head on my shoulder.

Even after the weather improved, she stayed close, and only really moved away when some of our friends pointed out that it has not been raining for a while.

From that point, we talked continuously throughout the day. Whenever possible, we naturally ended up sitting near each other, and she would often move closer whenever space opened up so she could sit beside me.

Later on, we walked over to a shallow pool area, where she asked if she could sit between my legs, and we stayed like that for about an hour just talking.

During the conversation, she asked if I was single. I said I was, and she responded that she was glad to hear that. She also said she was single herself.

As the evening went on, we started holding hands while moving around the event. She also gave me her phone number so we wouldn’t lose each other.

Later that night, she became unwell after a long very hot day combined with alcohol. A friend and I helped her to an assistance point and laid her down while we looked for help. I found a staff member, who offered to drive her home. they told us only one person could accompany her, so I asked a mutual friend to go with her, since I had only just met her that day.

After I got home, I texted her to check she had gotten back home safely and to say I enjoyed spending time with her. She replied that she wasn’t sure where she was, which was confusing, as I had seen her leave with staff earlier. We exchanged a few messages, and I offered to come back if she needed me, but she said other friends were already with her. I then wished her good night and to get home safe.

We didn’t speak again that night or the following day. Later, I learned she hadn’t actually been taken home, but instead had been brought to a resting area to recover until the event ended.

A few days later, I reached out again to ask how she was feeling. She replied that she was doing better and asked how I was. I responded briefly that I was fine and a bit sore. She read the message immediately, and I haven’t heard from her since.

I’m not sure how to interpret the situation anymore. Should I reach out again, wait and see if she initiates contact, or assume this was simply a brief connection that doesn’t continue beyond that moment.
