Keep in mind that she has that little loud voice going too. That's why piecing is so precarious. Both people are very ambivalent at first about what you are even doing.
It's good you have the MC to begin working with, so the two of you don't get too impatient. But it lacks the intensity of the Retro weekend. Don't expect miracles out of either one. You spent years getting into this hole you are in, you will not just leap out holding hands! It is a slow process. But really, a month ago, would you have even expected a text response like the one you got last night? Let alone have been disappointed with it? Keep looking back to assess your progress. As long as you are moving forward, or even holding steady, count your blessings! You are just beginning the work to excavate a site to build a foundation for your relationship. Too early to be decorating the interior!
