Positive developments? #2

Thanks everyone!

E-mail from W during work yesterday, said she's coming in town today. Apparently the doctor appointment from last week got moved to this week. She had several tax, medical insurance, and auto insurance questions.

She also said "Super excited, life has been very hard lately and this is will be my bright spot for a while! Can we maybe go to James Avery while there?"

I bought her a James Avery ring early in our dating. Maybe she wants to polish it. I told her that sounds great and I'm looking forward to her visit. Also, that we made tentative Valentine's plans for Houston, so could she stay in town? She said there are some details to work out, so we'll see. I told her if I need to come there that's still fine.

I cleaned my place some more last night, band practice was canceled, which was good timing. Called W around 9:30, planning to go to bed early. We talked for a little while, then she said "are you falling asleep, or can I say something?" I was falling asleep, but

She started crying, said "I'm so scared. Living with my grandparents will be terrible. My Dad tried to convince me to live with him instead, but he won't give me as much as my grandparents. I need my space, and even when you and I lived together we would get on each others nerves it wasn't terrible. With my grandparents, they'll be asking every second what I'm up to. I told them some days I have to stay in bed all day, and I know they won't understand."

W just called, she worked out picking up her new Netbook downtown Houston, and she's on her way. She said "I can't wait to see you". Yay!

So, do I talk to her about moving? It's like she's giving me an opening to. The apartment next to me rents for $60, so we could do both for $160. I heard again last night they're having trouble finding a tenant, as it's already mid-semester.

As for gramps, W's parents are divorced and her Mom already passed away. So she'll get her inheritance soon anyway (just realistically). I don't see why she needs to go crawling to them for it. He's still very in favor of our marriage anyway, much more so than FIL. And now they're trying to outbid each other for W, like they always have. What a mess.
