"Well, that went okay, though no movie, as it turns out she does have work tomorrow and wanted to prepare. We had a nice dinner, with more than the usual amount of conversation (thank you, President Obama, for coming to Stockholm tomorrow, and so offering a good subject to talk about)"
That sounds good, but try and not talk about something so heavy. Talk to her about her. What her plan is for school. How she feels about something. You don't need to have a "reason" to talk to your own W. Don't be afraid.
"which she seemed to appreciate (and she must have noticed I used the fancy plates and tried to present things nicely), saying "that was a nice dinner, thanks", after."
Did she do anything else? Did she help you clean up or hang out after dinner with you?
"I guess we'll need to redo this sometime, though daughter will be back then. "
So? Why do things have to stop just because your D is back? Include your W in all this and make it a fun, enjoyable family time.
When was the last time you got your W to smile?

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
