Ambivalent,
Sounds like the evening went very well and you handled it perfectly. You gave him plenty to think about on his way home to his condo.

I'm glad he asked about the leftover venison from last evening. This is a baby step in the right direction. He made the choice to ask and you provided what he needed. Very nicely done.

They will have a great day of hunting and hopefully he will bag a deer today.

Things appear to be moving in the right direction. Just remember not to push, allow him to come to you.

Enjoy your day!

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
