Apple Pay payment expired, funds not returned

I sent $40 to a friend last weekend and she never accepted the money so the apple payment expired. What happens from here, will the money go back into my wallet/bank account or does it just disappear? Haven’t seen anything refunded so far so not sure if I need to contact anyone about it.

Once the fund transfer expires, expect a 1 to 3 business day delay until funds show available in your account. What exactly did the transfer expire on?
