I think that's great that your daughter got to see this pleasant interaction between you and gf because I know there were a lot of concerns there before.
I want to share this with you.
This morning, my D told me that she had a nightmare about me falling in love and she was furious at me, in the dream! We had a really good talk, and I told her it was normal for her to feel ambivalent about daddy and me finding other partners. I said it's normal to want to see us happy, but to also feel sad b/c we're not getting back together. I asked her if that's how she felt about H and his gf, and she said yes and started to cry. I told her that it's okay to feel like that, and that if things had gone the way H and I had wanted, we would all still be together (I almost choked on that one, but it's probably true). But in any case, we are still a family, just a different one. And it's okay for her to like the gf; she doesn't have to love her.
I just held her for a while, and she calmed down. I'm really glad we had that talk b/c it gave me a chance to talk with her about something important to her and to show her that I won't fall apart talking about H and gf.
