K- you're testing me by requesting no comments on feeling stiff! But I'll refrain!

So, I just got back from lunch with H. He looked gorgeous today- really fantastic. I don't think I've seen him look so good for oveer a year. Hug and kiss on cheek hello (it was a close hug, which was nice). We walked to the restaurant and had a nice table. Talked, sat and mirrored each other. it was nice. There was some nice eye contact, although not flirty particularly, just friendly. Discussion was around what I did at the weekend, what he did (wedding rehearsals) and then plans for the coming weekend. Specific things he mentioned

- last weekend he spent most of the time with BIL. Augergine wasn't there
- next weekend he's going to a wedding near MIL/FILs house on Saturday (no aubergine again)
- all evenings this week seem non-aubergine contaminated from what I can tell
- when discussing weddings, at one point H nearly referred to 'our wedding' but then checked himself. He also spoke about how it was easier to write his groom's speech and make it funny than it was to write the best man's speech for the wedding this Friday (cousin's). We laughed a little about the jokes he made in his speech. Nice

Then we left the restaurant. I brought him up to the office and introduced him to my colleagues. They were a bit cold towards him, but CEO was a bit rude, I thought. Stupid CEO. And then H left. We hugged goodbye quite closely (nice). The he kind of laughed and gave me a kiss on the cheek, and I went.

Since getting back to me desk, H has sent me an e-mail saying

Hi OD,

Thanks very much for lunch. The green curry was delicious and it was very nice to see you. Have attached the speech for you to check out. Still needs a little work but at least you can say whether it is funny and add any other comments.

Love H xx

So I'm commenting on the best man's speech (I said I'd like to have a look). I'm a bit worried about this wedding on Saturday that he's going to. We were both invited, but now he's going alone. maybe he's going to tell all of them that we split up or somethng. How depressing. Still, a few positives, and I didn't initiate any R talks so pleased with myself about that. And I managed not to mention the aubergine.
