Just observing the changes

Cas,

The comment is huge!!

He wished you an enjoyable time at your conference because he
has genuine care and fondness for you. IMO, your H is at a point where he wants no harm or bad to come to you, he wants you well.

He can express it because he is freely thinking it. It's his lead, he's not being forced and it was comfortable to say.

OH, this is a good thing!!

Very exciting, let's maintain calm though, patience and time and
that ever present "no expectations" are still on the menu.

I think his comfort level is a huge hint and key to your sitch.

Have a great week (((Cas)))! I already know you will
