Invite her out for coffee/drinks and explain what was going on that led to the dicey departure. Own the situation and be honest. I believe it’s your best bet.

That's a tough one. Just work harder to prove to her you aren't who you were when you left the last agency you guys worked at on dicey terms. Keep your side of the street clean. Good luck.

Dicey terms with her personally, or with all those other people whom she too has said bye bye to?

Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
