You have indeed been showing slow, steady improvement. I thought I had as well. Right now, if she were to ask me for a hug, I'd have to force myself to comply. That may have been part of the plan. She claims to feel uncomfortable that I demonstrate my attraction for her.
We had several comical scenes where I broght my clothes back up into the room where they belong, and she brought them right back into the basement. She is, if nothing else, stubborn. I allow that stubbornness is sometimes part of strength, but strength is so much more. Stubbornness is not by itself an admirable trait.
I'm not planning on sleeping with her tonight. I just don't want to yet. She's going away for a few days and when she comes back we'll see. She didn't force me out with a gun, she just showed an ugly, repulsive side that I hadn't seen in a long time.
