Trudge around
The sentence (taken from a British movie) is:
Listen Jimmy, I trudged around with Phil because I wanted to. It's the first time he has enough money to throw a party.
Does 'trudge around' mean that she hanged out with Phil? Does it imply being Phil's girlfriend or just that she frequented his company?
