WOW!!!! If you need a relative relationship check to know how wonderful this is....I don't remember the last time H and I did ANYTHING for an hour, unless we're both strapped into the car driving somewhere.
I know you're guarded. What did you see in his eyes...what feelings? What do you think he wanted to say? If I'm being nosy (and I am), then don't answer.
Really, you've had nearly a FULL WEEK of wonderful things...I know it's not as consistent as you want, and you still have grumpy, late, tired H too. But, hey, it's reality, right? Better that it's sincere than acting. Take it as it comes...love it for what it is. I know you do.
SO happy that you took the opportunity when he was in the hall, thanked him last night, etc. I really think he's just as, if not MORE, guarded and scared than you are. He's feeling guilty and overwhelmed at the distance b/w you two. I think when you reach out first at his little attempts to stand at the chasm, he leaps. You give him the faith to jump back...keep it up. You're still his friend, and that's the best thing in the world.
