First Piecing Thread

Hey guys. Back from vacation and just have a couple minutes while trying to get caught up at work and wanted to share a couple things.

Of course, vacation was great. Had a blast. W totally engaged. W talking about our future more and more, intimacy was there, all in all, good trip. Had one trigger that threw me for a loop for an evening and part of the next morning, but got thru it.

Got home Saturday evening and had a really nice evening with W and S21. S17 was out doing his thing as soon as we got home.

Here's my question of the day. The whole drive home I kept perodically sending W flirty TM's. She was sitting in the back because our car is smaller and S17 is a big boy and needs the space, so he was sitting in front with me. Anyway, I kept sending the TM's and she would respond and it was just a lot of fun. So we have our nice evening when we get home and go to bed and ML.

When we were done, I looked at W and said "I love you" and in a very soft voice she said "I love you too" with a great big smile on her face. I was shocked. So much so that I wasn't sure I'd heard her correctly so I said "could you speak into my good ear, I'm not sure I heard you correctly" (all in a joking manner) and she replied "I didn't say anything". So we just laid there with me stroking her face and hair, looking at each other and I didn't know what to say. We went to sleep shortly after.

So the question is, WTF? Why would she say that to me and then deny she said it? Did she catch herself revealing what I KNOW she feels and she doesn't want to deal with it or deal with what she thinks will come if she repeats it to me again?

I'm just confused. I guess I thought when she finally would bring herself to let go and say that to me, that she'd really let go and we could move forward and REALLY get past this stuff.

Any opinions?
