Following up with some additional insights on this Betsey:

I think in the past, my indifference came across that I didn't care about her.

During Sunday's talk, I tried to be empathetic and tried as much as possible to validate what she was saying.

A key thing she did say was that she was glad we could still talk like this. This is the point where she then asked what I thought about us staying in contact as we moved on.

A few weeks ago, she was pretty certain she could not see that happening and at the very least a maybe.

Trying very hard here not to have any expectations.

It is difficult though. I am struggling to find that space between not pursuing (by reasoning with her, saying that I miss her, etc) and coming across as indifferent(that I don't care about her).
