OK, so just when I couldn't take the NC any more, W starts IMing me. I stayed on all day just in case. Yay! Hope I did well.

W: You there?
Me: Yes. Hi!
W: Why did you do that yesterday?
Me: I'm very sorry that I didn't protect you before, and wish I could now. The night of that shooting is a very painful memory even now
Me: Didn't mean that you don't have the situation under control, I know you do
W: I thought you liked the drama and excitement
Me: No, it scared the the junk out of me
Me: I started the next day trying to get a job in Austin, to get us out of there
W: You ran towards the gunshots and left me alone
Me: But nothing worked out and I was too prideful to do what I'm doing now
W: ok
Me: I watched until they found the shooter in a back yard to make sure we were safe
W: It frustrates me when you act like you care all of a sudden
Me: I understand that. But I do care. But I know it's too late, etc.
W: You could have been shot Jonathan
Me: I guess I never really worry about myself, but I worry about you
W: Never go towards gunfire unless you have business there. your voyeur ways are frightening
Me: That makes sense
W: to me, for your safety
Me: I appreciate that

- then followed some criticism of my Facebook, that it's prideful to only have pictures of me and my Harley. I joked that she took the pictures, then got serious:

Me: I'd much rather have pictures of you, it's strange not to
W: I do love that non of your so-called-friends knew my name when they asked about me
Me: I did a really bad job of using "Lauren", with you and other people. Working on that now.

We talked about Army Wives for a bit, then I let her go.
