He asked me out for breakfast again this morning. Was nice. A nice surprise.
In the GAL part...Yesterday, I was out most of the afternoon, he came home I guess while I was gone. (didn't tell him where I was going)...and it again reminded me of how much he HATES being alone. He couldn't stay in the house by himself. He had come home, realized I wasn't here, put firewood in the stove and then headed out to a client's house to make sure her winter taps were properly shut off. Meanwhile, I was at my main support system, my sis in law's... what surprised me most is that I got an earful of what his own brother thinks of him. This man usually stays completely out of everything. His words about his own brother: F'g moron. Wow.
Last night, watched the hockey games, and when I'd lean the other direction (still sitting beside him - at his request after the fight)... he'd reach his hand out and put his hand on my leg.
He also likes his back scratched and I have a cool horse type brush that makes for a good back scratcher. Since touch is something that can make a bond without the other person even realizing it... and he "lets" me... I spent an hour scratching his back, massaging his neck etc.
When he went out for his walk, he grabs me, hugs me, and "did the eyes" thing, and said, I love you. Smiled and left.
Came to bed, put his hand on my arm. And we woke up this morning, he turned, to face me, and he slips his hand into mine and smiled.
I know it's a baby step forward and this week, the parasite will put her charm on full on. Since I've played one of my trump cards (the visit)... now, I just be nice and start doing more of the 180s and not being too forthcoming with where-abouts.
