A little input would be appreciated...

Last night, I felt her staring at me frequently. I went about my business, continue with my GAL house activities and investing in the kiddos. Our routine prior to BD would be to shower together. Last night before bed, she asked...are you going to hop in the shower tonight? I said, yes, I am a little sticky after Jiu-Jitsu and an afternoon run. She said cool, turned on the bathroom heather and turned on the shower. I brushed my teeth and hopped in. As usual, she has an entire routine before getting in. I was in there a good 5-7 minutes and had finished my shower. I hopped out and dried myself off. She kinda gave me this sideways glance. She then asked a question when she jumped in. I was pleasant, laughed, and was engaged with her...but moved on to bed where I started reading. I asked how her shower was and we exchanged small talk. I went back to reading. As I was falling asleep I put my book down. She turned off the light, rolled over, put her hand on my chest and said, I love you babe. I told her ILYtoo and went to sleep.

This is not standard protocol. She said ILY for maybe the 2nd time wince BD. AND, I think that was the second time she touched me for the day (the 1st was questionable as I got a new pullover and she said it looks so comfy and ran her hand up and down my arm).

This morning, I certainly engaged with her asking how she slept, etc. She asked about what I had planned today and I asked her in return. There is something a bit different here. It feels like she is looking at me more, wanting more conversation, etc. She hasn't said that explicitly for sure. However, she also asked if I was leaving the M last week. Should I be doing something differently? Should I be engaging with her more? Should I start showing more affection? I am NOT giving up my GALing...having too much fun. I want to give her space and I want her to come to me. However, one of the reasons for the BD was that I didn't initiate enough, etc. (you guys know the story). Thanks for any input!
