Well I had to go to city centre today on business to complete some tasks for the new job I obtained amd will start shortly. I texted STBX and asked if he'd like to meet for coffee as I was going close to where he worked.
He surprised me by saying yes. As timing worked out, we met for early lunch instead. I was waiting at the restaurant for him. When he walked to our table I got up, said I was glad to see him and gave him a brief kiss and a hug which he accepted. He complimented me and said I looked good. (Darn right I did!)
We had a nice lunch, and I volunteered the information of why I was in town, I think ( I don't know) that he was surprised. He congratulated me. I asked him directly how available he would be to help with the kids, as this new job requires me to be on call any time day or night for at least the next 3-6 months. He said he would be available as much as he could be given the restrictions of his employment. We discussed adding my youngest child to our family phone plan, bus routes for both kids, and stuff like that. I walked with him to his office. About halfway there I grasped his hand, he didn't pull away and for the first time in a long time we walked hand in hand in rhythm. I thanked him for lunch. He said he might be by earlier to have a cup of tea with me when he comes to get the kids later today. ( Yes, I was surprised at that.) I kissed him goodbye at street level, and walked to my bus stop.
I'll update further this evening for those that are interested.
