So, for several weeks now, interactions with my XW have been minimal. Some of it has been a crazy work schedule, but she also seemed to keep a consistent distance after me asking her to go to the zoo with us back in mid-Feb.
Today, our S had a poetry reading at a bookstore with his class. It's her time with S, but I went to see him for the reading. He was happy I w as there. XW was polite and friendly during the performance. Afterward, we wandered the bookstore a S looked for books. After a bit, I told them, I wanted to go and look for some books for me, and excused myself. Not what I wanted to do, but thought I should not hang around.
Picked up a book and started reading in the coffe shop, and they found me after finishing their purchases. We all sat together and chatted about movies and books. The talk was centered on our S, but I was just happy they found me rather than leaving, as I had expected XW would want to do.
Small step, but it made me happy. XW had mentioned they were going to a movie afterward, and I was secretly hoping to be invited along, but I didn't let on. She didn't mention it later. I'm trying to minimize my expectations and enjoy any positive changes.
