NLG,

All of those are great signs. HOWEVER, continue to push for the MC. The thing is that since the OM is gone, she has a big void and is looking to you to fill it. While it's not a bad thing, if she didn't understand what caused the void in the first place, it'll go right back to the way it was.

Also, has she actually asked for your forgiveness and said "sorry"?

This is an important thing. She has to be able to show remorse. Not regret. Regret is I'm sorry I got caught. Remorse is "I'm sorry I hurt you, what I did was wrong." She has to show some kind of understanding of her actions and the consequences that followed. If not, she will let it happen again.

I can't stress enough how many people here think they're on the way to piecing and let those things slip. Then they find themselves back on here.
