Hey my fellow sister goddesses...Btw, I am not away on a leisure trip...am actually on a work assignment. Am still away, will only be back home this evening.

Well, H came back on Tuesday night from him trip. We didn't talk much. He was busy packing his bags for his two-week trip so was walking in and out of the room. I, on the other hand, was watching telly. He said goodnight, and that was it. But in the middle of the night, I felt that he actually came to hug/caress me abit but I din't stir or acknowledge it. The next morning, he came back and hug/caress me abit again and I couldn't resist and reciprocated. We ML and had to hurry up as my work-mate was gonna pick me up from home for the trip. He was a little amused by my "dash" to get myself ready for work. About noon, H called me...but it was more about if I used his credit card for any internet transaction as there seemed to be a fraud. Later at about 6 pm, he called again. This time, our convo was a little deeper. H asked initially about our fax machine (to sort out the cc fraud) then, the convo went like this:

H: Company X has just called me and they are going to send a formal offer.
Me: OK
H: They asked who will be following me, and I said me alone for a few months first, and then maybe end of the year you and the kids will follow.
Me: *Silence* See what is the offer first.
H: Can you go and check the when does the school year start for S8 at the International School?
Me: Err..OK. When I get back home. We'll see how.
H: Or would you be okay if I work there alone for awhile? I don't want you to leave your (good) job. Don't worry, she will not be following me.
Me: err.. Ok. The fax paper is in the drawers... (trying to change subject...don't know what else to say)
H: Okay then, I will keep you informed!
Me: Okay. Bye.

What do you make of that? Is it a real positive step? I am afraid to get my hopes too high up.

Anyway, I called H on his mobile at about 8pm to talk to the boys. H sounded okay. Then later, I found out about 1/2 hour later that my dad actually asked H what is his decision about us, when he was over at their house to pick the boys up. I hope my dad has not bring all my DBing efforts to zero. But I guessed what is done is done. No point dwelling on it. I guessed the little positive that things are not as bad is that when I called to talk to the boys, H didn't sound upset or anything. I will let the incident with my dad pass until H brings it up. Otherwise, I will feign ignorance.

We'll see...

Trying to Stay Positive AND Hopeful
