That's been my goal since I took her to the ER; let the relationship stuff settle for a while, and take care of her until she's better.

The only time our relationship has come up at all was when she first thanked me for being her friend through all of this. I tried to point out that I was trying to be there for her like she's wanted me to be, but that didn't go anywhere.

The second time she thanked me, I just said "you're welcome" and made an excuse to leave the room before she could see me start to tear up.

The OM sent her flowers; they're currently sitting next to her on the desk. (Her other flowers, including mine, are placed all around the room. She moved those because she "wanted some color".)
