You are doing very well. Even if this is a start of her moving back toward you, you don't change the game plan. You are looking for patterns of behavior remember, not just this. And being away from you is likely to cause her to miss you, but that doesn't mean that will last once she is back in her regular life. It can be partly that she is not entirely secure being away from home and regularity, and that you are part of that. Once the other securities are back in place, the missing dissipates. The good news is that the potential to miss you is there. You know that now. It isn't just a fantasy. Whether or not that resurfaces in a way you can work with remains to be seen, but you know it is there. It was always there. There is hope, but for now, nothing is different yet, and nothing may come of it. But you are doing really, really well.
