So during the church service, W seemed moved. It was mostly music. I found an opportune time and placed my hand on her back and gently rubbed. Maybe 5 seconds. I figured better too short than over-stay. W didn't really respond either way. IMO, that was a positive.

Later I asked if the service had moved her. W's response was a quick yea, what about you? Quickly turning it back to me. IMO, this is probably a defense mechanism to avoid introspection.

Since then things are as usual. Friday W and I had dinner with D16 and her boyfriend. I took off afterward for the evening.
