Interesting. He came in tonight, I was standing at the stove cooking. He did not approach me, I looked at him and said hi, commented on "Oh, you got a hair cut, looks good." And went back to cooking. About 3 or 4 minutes later he came up behind me and gave me a big hug. If I had approached him and hugged him, he wouldn't have had that chance to initiate. I am glad I kept it friendly but neutral. Really glad.
Also interesting to note, he has a different look about him tonight. And I don't mean the hair cut. He just has a relaxed look, actually looks younger and this is the first time I haven't seen that "depressed checked out" look on him in months. He looks like himself. Maybe the weight is off his shoulders because he is taking the travel job? Idk, but he just had a pleasant interaction with D, which NEVER happens .
