Is it messed up that I didn't say I love you back to someone I barely know?

So I was working a late shift at my job. Me and this girl were closing up. She started crying because her boyfriend showed up to pick her up, they had a fight, and he abandoned her. I comforted her and listened to her.

She wanted a couple of hugs and I hugged her. Our manager decided to drive her home. After everything she kept saying to me, "I love you." But I didn't feel comfortable saying that to someone I barely know.

We've only talked a couple of times during work and she's a nice girl. I know it doesn't really mean anything it's not like I actually love her. But I don't use that word lightly. So I would change the subject when she would say that. She said it a couple of times. Also I don't want to get reported for sexual harassment or something. I'm looking back, was that messed up of me?
