I'm proud of how you keep making the best of this whole ride, seriously! You are stronger through and through. Really seems like cautious warming on W's part, like typical WAS mode is in coming around. Would honestly let the car thing slip your mind if at all possible. Who knows, not like it has to mean anything, right? We can choose how to look at our sitches time and time again. Make me take my own advice,lol. I've had the experience of offering a favor, getting a "no" and then it being accepted later too. Like it gives them an excuse to call about kind of thing- look like they're "all business", but we know they wanted to contact us nonetheless. They don't want to look like they "need" us- but they want us around- so it's a total front. The "I'm really trying to figure out my life now" is HUGE! I got that from H too... like a subtle admittance to the fact they are considering or something. Thinking about you more than you know. See the opportunities in that, for sure. And how she's getting a little tired of the new crowd.. all signs of movement back to you, I see. Maybe continue to be cool "friend", taking those opps that you can for doing favors and stuff. WAS like to make their own pace, feel like they are in control of this.. I think the wall tumbles faster and sooner than we might know. Find those points to tap, like in emotional bonding through her probs she talks about or something. Or if you have similiar probs to relate to her on. Getting on the same page, so they feel you are an ally, a confidant, a best bud, a partner.
