OK back - so, I got the kids in bed (W was taking a bath). So, started playing my guitar, singing a song I figured out the other day. W was out by then, she says, "sounds good!" I asked if she wanted to hear something else I'd worked on, "not right now."
Eventually, she comes and shuts my door so she can watch TV - I look up and she does a little kiss at me as she shuts the door.
Now - she does these things every so often - calls me "hon" when she leaves a message, then catches herself.
