This morning she thanked me for getting the apartment and touched me on the shoulder in a friendly way. First time she has touched me in a week or more.

We have the kids at a sitter for a couple of hours tonight. My goal is to not discuss the relationship at all. I will talk about what we need to do for the apartment, or financials, or the kids (specifically 123 Magic), or we can talk about the movie we've seen and make small talk, or watch a movie together at home. Hell, if she doesn't have a plan for something to do or discuss tonight, I should just go to the gym.
