Badger, I'm no expert. Unfortunately, my learning comes from my mistakes more often than not.
She said she loved you. Which is awesome. Do you think she thought about it for days after she said it?
Asking her about it days later will seem like pressure to her. Anything you do or say about your M, how good she looks, how much you love her... that feels like pressure to her.
Lay low and be upbeat while you're at home. If you feel yourself wanting to engage her in conversation about the M, leave the house. Go for a walk, clean out the garage, do anything but talk to her about M.
My W will throw the "I love you"s around like crazy. I reply with "I love you" or "I like you a lot" (forrest gump voice) to make her laugh. I used to go temp insane and start talking to her about M, cheating, kids.... arrrgggh, it was bad.
Lay low and chill. Keep calm and if it's hard to keep calm, just go do something. Run, walk, whatever.
Good luck.
