Focusing on the small positives. I saw my W several times over the course of the day. Instead of avoiding eye contact, like she has in the past, she looked right at me. Sometimes while making one of her trademark expressions. At one point, she came looking for me. She wanted to sit down, one-on-one, to review and plan some work for the spring. I have to admit to being clumsy around her like an awkward teenager. She made a dry joke about it. She seemed comfortable talking to me and asking for my input. I have to admit my mind felt like clay. It was generally a simple, business like transaction. As my TC would point out, she was making an effort that she did not have to. Baby steps?
While it has no bearing on our interactions today, she was dressed casually, jeans and a plaid shirt over a tight t-shirt. I still find my W physically attractive after all these years. It is very difficult not to express my affection.
