She was exceptionally happy and upbeat most of the day Saturday. Seems to be starting to feel good about herself and was more talkative than usual. I engaged but didn't get too excited.

We each had our own plans for the evening. It felt weird dressing and preparing to go out at the same time along side each other, knowing we wouldn't be together. I told her she looked nice and she said I did too. Yes, I wore the new jeans she bought me.

I got home after her and she was in bed. I'm going to prepare us a nice breakfast and look forward to hearing about her night, while sharing about mine. I believe that secrecy/mystery stuff is for situations in much worse shape than ours is at this time.

M: A really long time.
Crisis: 5 years.
She's still worth it.
