...so you saw each other several times!?? And still had stuff to talk about, thats great!

Thats so wierd !!?? What the hell could that have been all about !? Really odd!

I feel like this is the start of a new phase for you and H, he seems more open with you? And theres more!...

Again.. wow.. I am amazed! After all this time and that big period of NC, you are right back where you were and its pretty wierd that he walks around holding hands with you, isnt it !?? The aub would go nuts!?

So.. thats different for you Lisa, you actually mentioned her? By name? Thats really brave of you and doesnt sound like he reacted badly to that and great news he's not taking her home !!!

Again, wow.. but do you think he is toying with you?? Giving you enough carrots to keep you dangling? Or does it more feel like, as you said, things may be cooling with her? I'm sure it was that holiday you know!

So happy for you.. seems like things are on the up again. Not sure about CEO.. red herring !??
