It feels weird not to just chat with someone who's living in the same house,
The house is only silent if neither of you initiate. Is SHE initiating any conversations?

Sounds like a good 180--deepen a friendship, make a new friend, or join one of the dozens of "Online Isolation Meetups" so you have someone to chat with and you're not dependent upon only her for social contact. If I recall correctly, you've mentioned she has several friends she messages.
