Can I really do this #4

She is aware that I probably have an offer coming. I just want to have it in hand prior to opening the discussion. If something were to fall through and I presented it as almost a done deal, my credibility and trustworthiness would take another hit and the idea of moving will vaporize and I would be the bad guy for putting a carrot out there. I just don't want her to think this is done "scheme" to get her back. This truly was her ask.
