A twist on cake-eating & dropping a bomb of my own

[2Times2Many]

A couple of days have passed. He explained the failure to call a couple of nights ago - said he was watching a movie a fell asleep. Oh well.

But, he has resumed the morning chat sessions. He has even sent a message when he was busy and couldn't text to let me know he'd call later - which he did.

He has called me "Baby" on the phone a couple of times .... getting closer to that "baby girl" pet name? One can hope.

There is a broadway show coming to our city in a couple of months that we both have wanted to see (again). When he was here, I mentioned going by myself or finding someone to go with me. He suggested about a week later that we could go with one of our employees who is coming back with him (she will be staying with us and is not the OW). I said that was fine but I wasn't sure the employee would get the humor. He said I had a good point.

A day or two later, I suggested that we could go on a night when the employee would be occupied with other business stuff (we will have a couple of nights to ourselves). He said he didn't consider that option and he thought it was a good idea and said he'd let me know the next day whether or not to buy the tickets.

The next day, he said go ahead and buy them - that he was looking forward to the two of us going to see the show together ... that it would be fun. So, I guess we have a date.

But, I have gotten no indication that he is ready to cut back on the business over there, so there is a long way to go in that aspect.

He did tell me about a positive thing that happened yesterday at the business there and I texted that he must be happy about that. His response was, "Happy, no ... content, yeah" Then he said it again a couple of messages later. Interesting response - have no idea what it means.

So, I'll keep on keeping on. At least we don't seem to be going backwards!
