I have two daughters that were very close, too. They drifted apart and back several times just because of timing, friends, interests, etc. Now they are both grown and living separately, but still close. Perhaps it's alright if you just let them work it out in their own time. They'll be ok.
As for the 10pm curfew, whoa. I wouldn't stand for that. You probably wouldn't either, you know, think about it. It'd be different if she were out of control, but she sounds like a model daughter. It also sounds like she might compromise and agree to get in early one weeknight per week.
And congratulations for having an awesome daughter. I know it feels good.
