I came home from work today a little later than usual ( this was planned). I found W alone eating dinner, miles away in her own thoughts. I joined her and made some small talk, but she didn't listen as she seemed to be in a different world. I didn't ask if there was a problem, I just remained cheerful and upbeat. After I cleared away, W took a shower and I spent time with D6.
Once D6 was in bed, W asked me to join her again in the kitchen to make a different recipe of fruit smoothie to yesterday. We chatted about the merits of different types of fruits to juice and we shared a drink. Same scenario as yesterday but this time I left the kitchen first to go to the computer, while W retired upstairs.
My co worker has likened this to the picnic analogy where this time W is sneaking out of the castle to bring cool drink to the picnic, but rushes back as she is not ready to sit down and hold hands. It's ok with me as I can see this as more baby steps epescially when I think a few weeks back she didn't want to talk to me even be in the same room as me.
