BTW, she asked me to lunch yesterday. We had a good lunch. She had her game face on and I tried to keep the conversation about her. The good thing is her father has been coming around helping her with repairs and stuff. They were pretty distant up until now. I saw a silver lining in this whole thing and related that to her.
Afterward, she loosened up quite a bit. I had to bring the dog to her (we share 'custody'). So I met her at the book store. Instead of her taking the dog and sending me on my way, she had me come in and we milled around the store awhile. We lightened up and talked and joked. We looked at our favorite Dr. Seuss books (mine is 'Go Dog Go!'). It was nice. At one point, I made a joke and she exclaimed, "Honey!" That was a first and sounded great, but I did NOT react. We ended off with smiles and a hug.
NOW, I'm afraid of the lash back. It always seems to take place a couple days later. The "bungee effect", when they don't want you to get the wrong idea, they get scared or whatever. We'll see. I should probably go dark for now, since we ended off well. Any opinions?
