Our lunch was short because I had to advise some students. But I think it was good in some ways to have a time limit. We just talked about everyday stuff. I complimented her appearance; she has changed her hair slightly. We ended up talking about a rehearsal I had last night that included some friends she hasn't seen lately. She made a comment about wishing she could see them all, so I casually offered to take her to rehearsal with me if she wanted to go, expected her to say no thanks. She said yes. She chatted with people while I was practicing, and we had almost and hour drive each way to just talk about light stuff.

That isn't monumental or anything, except she seemed to relax around me more and more as the night went on. She has been very stiff with me for a long time.
