As noted so many times, a runner cannot go pooof. She was already

her advance toward the ball causing the two to bump. The ball was to
the 2nd base side of SS. Ball ended up going into short LC field. I signaled
OBS. Runner from 2nd went back to 2nd. I did not advance the
runner, cause in my opinion, she would not have made it. Had the SS
continued toward the ball I would have had INT.

Discussion point - Why would you have called INT if the SS continued to the ball, but did not call INT when she stopped? Did you think SS could have gotten to the ball?
Obviously, I was not there to see this play, I can just go by your description. From that, this sounds like INT to me
if the SS could have gotten to the ball. The fact that she aborted her attempt due to the presence of the runner and to avoid a possible collision does not take away the INT call.
Just my opinion and trying to generate some discussion.
