If it could remotely be her fault then everyone in that household, all those who were more exposed than you, would have caught it if they themselves had not first transmitted it to her which brings about the whole chain of causality and the possibility that you appear in that chain in another incarnation. Besides which, you relate that you had symptoms of a cold the next day, so less than one day from alleged exposure. The incubation period from infection to first symptoms is very seldom anything less than 2 days and typically longer so it would have been extremely unlikely that she was the immediate source of your infection.
