oh absolutely. It's why I am going on the trip and why I have been able to get back and focus on work a bit more.
It continues to be mostly pleasant interactions with W. A few times she has pointed out something that in the past would have led to a huge fight because one or both of us got defensive and aggressive. Now W. instead lets it go and brings it up a bit later.
So the way I see this there are two options: W is cake eating and just wants a smooth ride until she can leave OR she is really opening up.
I don't really believe she would go the extra mile if she still just wants to leave but I suppose it's an option.
