Thanks, snodderly. I sent him a simple "ty!" text when I got home. I really think brief communication is all he can handle. I forgot to mention yesterday that I got a message from him saying that he dropped off the loans papers and that he was completely exhausted from our talk the night before. I was tired due to lack of sleep but I had pep in my step the whole day. He, on the other hand, sounded like a complete mess. He can't hide his inner turmoil.
