I think having had a goodbye kiss or not is in and of itself not so important. All that you have described strikes me as her general level of comfort and intimacy with you is actually increasing, not regressing. She seems to be most grappling with her fear, and she seems to be gradually overcoming it. She has been very consistent in a number of ways based on your descriptions and the phone call on her way home was more telling than a goodbye kiss. I suspect the possibility that she was tempted to stay. She wanted to keep interacting, otherwise she wouldn't have called and asked you the question she did. Just my take on it based on the situation as you have described it thus far... you're the one living it though. I still think you're absolutely on the right track and you are playing it exactly right by moving at her pace. I think it's very possible that she is well on the way to falling back "in love" with you. Keep it up and stay positive!
