I saw my H last night. I was at his apartment to tuck D7 into bed. After I tucked her in, he struck up conversation about something for one of his classes (he went back to school a couple years ago). We talked for a few minutes and then I got ready to go. He walked over to give me a hug and then started kissing me...and then we ML. It's the first time that has happened in over two months. I felt like it was probably likely to happen because of the flirty messaging H has started the past several days. My understanding is that this is inline with DB as long as it doesn't lead me to develop expectations. I don't think it has. I don't think the situation has magically changed overnight or anything like that. I didn't contact H today or act clingy afterwards. I feel ok about it. This afternoon, H emailed me and asked how my day was. I responded something generic like, "Good. Really busy on X project. How's yours?" He then made more flirty comments about waking up in a good mood because someone was extra nice to him last night.
Later, he asked if I wanted him to come to the house and grill on Saturday. I agreed. One thing I really miss is my H cooking for us! I did turn him down for dinner tonight because I was working late.
I think I'm ok with what happened, but probably need a little longer to digest to be sure that I am.
