W called tonight to talk to D about the Bday card and money she sent. Called D phone and spoke to her for a few minutes. Then she called me. I was not expecting it. Small talk nothing of note. She talks about the blizzard they are expecting and about her job a little bit. I decided to risk the DB question in a roundabout way and this is how that exchange went
M "so what does your schedule look like for the week?"
W "I'll be in Ponca for the week but I should be good for Thursday"
M "oh ok. Just wanted to make sure there was no conflict"
W "nope I'll be free"
M "ok good well have a good night and be careful driving in the snow"
W "I will. Goodnight"
That was that. It was encouraging that she remembered the appt for the DB coach. I was happy to hear it.
Awhile back she mentioned how she had to file because that was closure. A part of me thinks she is waiting to see if I actually sign the papers and send them back to see if I really meant what I said about wanting her to be happy and respecting her wishes. That is my hope.
Another part says she will follow through with the D because that is what she really wants. That is my reality part.
I still believe if she felt she had a way out of this she would take it, but I could be dreaming about that part.
The conversation was light and pleasant and it was also short 6 minutes.
