Wayward Wife and the Way of LRT

[Defacto]

Journaling:
W just called this morning, which I wasn't expecting because her mom was with the kids. W told me that she had a story from last night at work that made her think of me. So I let W tell me the funny story and I actively listened. I laughed, made a passing remark about story, and thanked her for sharing the story with me.

I then changed the topic to the kids and told W about my great morning with the kids.

W then asked me to make sure to look at the email she sent from her L. I told her that I started to look at it.
I then wished her a good day and hoped she got some rest.

It was really a very cordial and upbeat conversation.

I'm just wondering about the purpose of W's call. She didn't need to check on the kids. I'm mindreading here but maybe W still finds comfort in the routine of calling me after her shift. Sounds like W doesn't want to lose my friendship.

W called me so I don't view my being cordial as pursuing. I simply let W tell her story and I proved to W I was listening. I think being cold and unfriendly would be damaging.

Just now, W sent me a pic of me with our D4 from four years ago. I know it doesn't mean anything but just wanted to share.
