Please don't get mad...that flower incident was major!!! She's telling you that she loves you!!!!! She seems like a perfectionist with a lot of stress going on right now due to her project she's working on.
My sister is a graphic artist too. She is really a person of great visual articulation. Your W seems the same.
That flower means a lot...
Her "tiff" over the key was nothing at all, not even meant to hurt you; she was frustrated, that's all.
How about the next time you see her working intently at her desk; walk in and say: "I know what you need right now" and go behind her and gently start giving her a neck massage for a few minutes? Then, leave and get her some tea, or coffee or wine.
Also, the next time you shop, buy some lavender potpourri or lavender scented candles and put around the house. It's very calming and smells delightful.
Keep being as you are, listening and validating her. She has seen a change in you...she notices it. This is very, very, very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That flower means a lot...things she cannot even say yet. She seems to communicate alot by leaving little hints around you. Keep your eyes open...she's talking, just not with words yet. Those will come later.
My friend, this is working for you...very nicely, I might add. You may not think so, but from an outsiders viewpoint it is......................................................
Keep the faith...just hang in there...it's worth it!!!
