Susana,

Have you thought about the mere fact that H is being nice lately is because he's more relaxed around you because of your awesome calmness?

I say this all the time: the LBS does have an influence on the WAS through their actions, behaviors, and word choices.

He is noticing the changes alright! Of course, they won't mention them because they don't want to raise our hopes.

Smile inwardly and know that you got this!
