Moving forward either way...

[Bunches]

Okay, I believe I failed the 'as if' test tonight. Someone help me make sense out of tonight.

W is keeping S for this week during winter break so its reversed schedule and I visited him tonight for a couple hours. As soon as I get there W starts asking me if something is wrong, which there wasn't. I was thinking of something and I furrow my brow I know but she decided something was wrong and kept asking what. I didn't worry about it and went ahead out with S for a couple hours and brought him back around 8. She asked me in and invited me to hang out for a bit. She started talking about old times and seemed to be flirting. She even caught me rolling my eyes at a joke she made at my expense and jumped to tickle me which is more playful than she has been with me in years.

I didn't stay more than an hour but the whole time was a huge difference from the interaction I've come to expect from her. It was pleasant and fun...I thought best to leave on a good note and went to excuse myself out and the first two times I tried it she just started in reminiscing about some other thing from our past and the conversation would hold me up. When I finally did leave though I could tell the conversation was stretching out and winding down.

I'd like to call this another good baby step but I just can't make heads or tails of it. She even text me after I got home to say thank and that she had fun hanging out. How am I supposed to proceed here?

Tomorrow is new years eve and I was thinking on the drive home since she just plans to spend it at home with S that I could spend new years as a group....or since S and I have plans on new years day that we could invite her along as she told us she doesn't have plans until that evening. Or it a mistake to pursue still? Feeling confused and set off balance.
