It's not really a DEM in my opinion. At least, not in the strictest sense. You need to make sure though that the audience knows she is supposed to wait for him (maybe even ordered to do so). Her decision to go ahead without that support(or guidance) and the subsequent trouble she then needs "rescuing" from, will considerably lay out her personality, potentially also her abilities and standing in the relationship with the person she waited for. If you want to reveal that kind of information go ahead. It can drive further conflict or bonding between the characters. It is a quite common plot device often displayed by rookies, the impatient youth, dare devils or hot heads.
