During the good night call last night, I could tell she was expecting me to try and draw her out, or bring up something from our earlier conversation. I did not.
During our earlier conversation, by the way, on the topic of trying to build something new and better together, she said "Well, I can't give you an answer now." to which I replied "Of course not, nor would I expect one. I just appreciate you thinking about it.". In the old days, that was a perfect setup for me to start hounding her incessantly for an answer. Not this time.
Anyweigh, she called this morning to let me talk to the boy, and I couldn't get to the phone. Her message said that she was getting in the shower, so I went for a run, worked out, made myself some breakfast, then called back a little more than an hour later. No answer, left a light message. She called back after another half hour, I talked to the boy, then she and I talked about, well, nothing. Just some common interests, her plans for the day with the boy, nothing much.
As an added bonus, she responded to my wishes for her to have a good day by putting on a really serious tone and telling me that she hopes I have a good day too. I told her I would, and I meant it (Got a friend on the way over now, we're goin to another friends party, gonna be a great day). GALing rocks.
I was really worried for a while that I had sunk the ship completely. Maybe so, maybe not, but either way I'm not giving up.
