South -- let her come to you -- don't initiate cuddles or foot rubs. Give them only if she approaches you with a request. Even though she may be back, she still needs space, and even though it's counter-intuitive, catering to her every need won't actually draw her back to you. Showing that you are a strong, independent, happy and non-needy person will help draw her back.
She's warning you re: the false hope.
Don't have any expectations.
