See? She does seem to want what was, without the drink. Sounds like a real positive exchange between you and your W. It seems she really wants to be your friend for now, maybe develop a NEW relationship later?? One based on better treatment of yourselves and each other?? Really DC, it does sound positive to me. That being said, don't get too eager, or she'll back off. Leave her wanting more, it gives her something to think about. I imagine it made you uncomfortable, her pulling you in like that, that's when you could make some excuses, maybe you have plans and need to leave??
Regardless of how excited you feel about the future possibilities with your W, tamper down the excitement around her, and don't let it all out. Now you've said what you did about you two in the future, she can have that to think about, and you can go without any big R talks for some time.
I think it's great your D loves shopping with you. What a little fashionista!! So, this gets you ready for when she's a teenager with all their clothing wishes Also, I like how you handled W's hints about the gilet (is that a vest?). Let her get her own, or maybe get her one from the kids for Christmas. And she noticed the cool clothes you got, so yay! Always good to look good.
I am glad you are so happy. Keep it up. Try not to get down if things get rough at times, as that's going to happen, probably lots of times before this saga has its ending.
