Answer:

It's the Oxytocin

Step-by-step explanation:

Oxytocin is the pleasure hormone. In this case, Ingrid is stressed because of the day, and the contact with her boyfriend, the touches, and the feelings made her feel better and liberates the pleasure. She no longer cares about what happened on her day, but only that moment and what she is feeling. This hormone enforces affection.
