Sven,

You know as well as I do not to take your unanswered calls prsonally. Who knows why she did not return them and does thiat really matter. Try to think the best not the worst. So...you feel as though you are getting comfortable. Well then try to do something new that will test the comfort zone. I know what you mean by getting too comfortable, it happens. Especially when things are stressed for you and her. She is starting a new business and you are helping her and that is great. You know better than anyone what you need to do. Things will move slowly every once in a while, just go with it. You said yourself that Piecing will be even more difficult than the sep. If you need to talk, vent, whatever...I am here for you 24/7. Talk to you soon.
