You might be able to transition pretty easily into a road bike - The bike I bought a few years ago (Specialized Sequoia) was a road bike configured and built sort of like a "comfort road" bike - it had a suspension seat post, and an adjustable stem that allowed for a more upright position. During the first year I rode it, I ended up trading out the suspension seat post for a regular one (much more efficient use of my pedaling energy) and over time also moved slowly into a less upright position.
Do you have a friend about your height with a road bike you can test ride? It will probably be a transition, but not too difficult a one! TE is littered with "aha!" stories of women who went from hybrid to road bike and never looked back! Enjoy the ride!
