Sounds to me like you are striking the right balance. You’re friendly but not overly enthusiastic. I you think about her as your “sister”, you responded just the way a brother would have. You were supportive when she asked for support but you didn’t make her your #1 priority by giving up other plans to spend time with her. I think you handled all those texts perfectly. Just like Crofton said though.... no expectations. I have figured out with my H (hopefully not too late) that too much enthusiasm on my part, even if he initiates, sends him running again. Be the lighthouse.
