Part 19 - keeping on keeping on

[edz]

Well things a moving here.

Got ready yesterday afternoon, dress watch black chinos, black fitted short sleeve shirt, leather jacket and the usual grooming.

Dropped s off at Wow friend, nice chat there and a coffee. Was nice but I had to get across town to pick w up and get to the Dinner reservation in time so had to dash, its very nice to be opening up that friendship again.

Picked w up and dinner was fab, the food was great (Thai Tapas dishes) and we talked about daily stuff, royal babies, son, us back to being able to have fun with each other. Towards the end of dinner w said she was happy to come over to the house but would need to stop off at home first to feed wft and grab some bits then she'd be happy to come over and so I could have wine as well would crash in s's room.

So more chatting, a movie and wine and w took s's room for the night (and only s's room). We had a nice breakfast and I dropped her home and then Im back here before picking s up.

W has an invite to roast lunch later today but Ive said if she wants to take the day and crash out thats fine, I'll have s tonight so she can rest - up to her how to mix and match. I think she's seeing I have no interest in grabbing or holding onto her like the old me would.

I'm not sure we're at piecing ..yet. W has said she is convinced of the logic of us moving back together and thats where her feelings lead her too. She has concerns and things we'll need to work through, she still needs her independent space at the moment and MIL still looms but as we spoke this morning both she and I said she has to work that through at her own rate or she will bolt. Ive said there is no upside in me pushing or rushing her on anything and she can work through things at her own rate I will offer as much or as little support as she wants from me.

We've been talking about potential day schools and areas to move to types of houses. A lot is daydreaming right now and I recognise that, I also expect w to occasionally pull away as she needs space but things are going well.

I continue to temper my expectations, I feel we're nearing piecing, w seems to want us to be together, to be married and to live together (somewhere else) but not...yet. So maybe piecing lite version?

Its new territory on this odyssey of ours but I like the scenery so far.

Anyway need to get ready to pick s up so will catch you all later.
