A change of perspective. Look at W as a new girlfriend and that you're in the "getting to know each other" phase. With that mindset, your stomach won't drop any more when she drives off.
You're doing really well. Remember my previous comment about context and timing when interacting with W. If you do, then you'll just be fine!
BTW, I am still waiting for Ms. Wonka to initiate contact with me for that "talk." It is like a small broken wooden toothpick left inside my slimey brain that needs to be picked out! Ah well. Bopping along just fine here.
