It really is driving me nuts not knowing what she really meant by all of this.

From her actions this point forward.

Absolutely! But wait for more interaction from her. And don't forget, when setting a boundary you need to be able to enforce the consequences. At this moment you do not have that ability. IMHO, now is not the time.

I hear you. Have patience to see what she does is all you can do at this moment.

OK, so sit back and watch a bit. Word will get back to you somehow on what she is doing. You will be able to determine her sincerity by her actions.

At the risk of upsetting Lotus, you don't. Trust is earned. She is going to have to work on this.

Wait. The time is not right for this.

Wait.
