Hmmm interesante

Se puede utilizar 'pista' (como 'clue') también ¿o no se utiliza esta palabra de tan manera? A veces aún tengo dudas con respecto al uso de la palabra 'pista' ...

Además Wordreference dice:

Quote:
lanzar or soltar una ~ to drop a hint
¿Es correcto?

Yes, you can use it as clue or as hint.
For me 'to drop a hint' can be translated as 'soltar una pista'.

A ver.
La chica en cuestión no le había enviado una invitación a la otra, pero ésta la esperaba recibir. Fue por eso que le soltó una pista a la primera. Cuando la primera no captó la indirecta y no le envió una invitación, de ahí surgió la queja.

Entonces, me suena mejor decirlo así:
Si ella no captó la indirecta y no me envió ...
