On Figurative Ledge - Talk Me Down?

[Denver_2010]

I called W last night. We made some idle chit chat about her work. She was fairly short with me when I asked her what was up with her. I then told her that I was just calling to say "hello" and to see "how she is doing". She was surprised bc she expected that I had called for a purpose. I said no, that I just wanted to say 'hi' and let her know that I am still here for her and SS if they need me for anything. She said 'thank you. I appreciate that.'... I said 'well, I'm still your husband and I think about, and worry, about you guys every day." She said 'thank you' again. She was working when I called, so I told her that I'd let her get back to it. And we said goodbye.

The whole call was 4 minutes long, but seemed like an eternity. It was so nice to hear her voice, even if it was for just a short time. She wasn't exactly warm towards me, but it wasn't cold either.
