Well, W called and we talked. She told me she's been feeling very good having space to herself , and she still wants to move towards D.
She asked me what my plan was when I get back from Asia, and I told her that I was going to live in my own house and take my time to figure that out. She didn't like this, and almost goaded me into an argument, but I stayed even keeled. She's worried that there will be "drama" if we live together too long - she thinks I should move by the end of May, and said even that long might be too long for her and she might rent an apt to herself. I told her that's fine if that's what she wants to do.
W also said she's going to "start looking into the legal stuff" when I'm in Asia. It feels like an empty promise, but who knows. She asked if I was feeling good about myself, and I told her hell yes. I feel great about myself, but I miss and want to be in my own home.
She wants to pick me up from the airport when I go home in 1.5 weeks. I'll only be there 5 days, but I'm ready to be busy, mysterious, confident, and attractive. This phone call wasn't exactly good, but I proved to myself that I can handle talking to her. I don't quite feel hope yet, but who knows...
