It's been a week since W and I met. There have been some calls and texts going back and forth and lots of friendly banter.

She is pursuing me big time. I know not to go overboard and dive right in with her. She keeps wanting to meet up and I am pushing our dates out. Tonight I will see her for dinner and a long walk.

She keeps saying she regrets leaving and is kicking herself. She understands she needs to be patient with me as I am guarded and that will take some time before I can start to lower my walls.

I'll keep you all posted!
