Randy, I only take it for what it was. Her and I talking like we used to. I'm not jumping up and down. She didn't have an epiphany nor did a "light" switch on. It did feel good. Nice to have that kind of conversation with her and not someone else.
It was a nice step forward.

And that is all it was. A step. Tomorrow, she goes back to him. But the more I can get her to open up to me, the better for the home team. Need to make sure to not go to deep into the "friend zone", though.

It is the reason why I have held off on "truth darting" her. Allowing an opportunity for her to open up to me. I didn't consider this conversation deep or her really opening up, meaning feelings about us or anything, but letting her talk and me validate some things.

It wasn't like a husband and wife talking. It was two people that hurt in similar ways and have a lot in common. Maybe she heard herself last night crying how she regrets pushing her dad away. How she was a terrible daughter. Just replace "dad" with "husband" or "best friend", and "daughter" with "wife".

And yeah, your post was a little puzzling. Although, I'm kinda tired too.
