Not Sure Which Way to Go

[downandoutintn]

Not much to update today.

Last night she did surprise me by having S5 at one of her co workers house that I had to work on their computer. Once I left I had to take S5 to her house. I came in to see S2 for a few minutes. Well she was eating and the kids needed a bath. So I went ahead and gave them their baths while she ate to help out and spend some more time with the kids. While I was there she kept on talking small talk with me. I actively listened to what she was saying while I continued to help the kids. At the end she seemed to get mad for really no reason. I don't know if she was mad at me because I was helping out and that reminded her of us living together. I finished giving the kids their bath got them dressed. Then I gave them hugs and told them I loved them and good night. I told her to have a good night and left.

So my question is how should I handle this type of conversation? I think it went pretty well. I didn't talk about myself at all and just acknowledged what she was saying and answered where I had to. I made sure I made eye contact with her as she was talking. One thing I noticed is that she is still very comfortable around me. I won't go into details but there is somethings that she still does around me that she wouldn't around other people. Nothing sexual towards me but I know she would not do this normally around just anyone.
