My FIL, whom I fish for, told me that I can't initiate contact with W for 2 weeks. He says she will start to get curious, and it'll only be a good thing. He even bet me $1000.00 that I couldn't do it to try and encourage me to stick to it. Now I don't really expect him to pay up, but I do think it is a good idea.
This morning she texted me: "Your silence has me concerned. Hope you're doing well." Then she told me about cute things our D4 said. She also has called twice. I know she is reacting to my grandmother's death, but heck I am glad she is contacting me!
I was a little distant when she called, but I didn't want to get over excited.
