Just an update on the visit to the W. I did pick up her favorite wine on the way over to see her. We talked a while and I played with my S6. I put him to bed while the W was pouring her bath water.
I poured two glasses of wine and walked into the bathroom where my W was bathing. I lit the candle on the sink top and turned off the bathroom lights. I then handed her a glass of wine and she took a sip and set it aside. W gave me the "don't push your luck" look. I laughed and told her to relax. I took the sponge that was in the soap holder and lathered it up with soap. I then started washing her back with gentle strokes. A couple of times I wrapped her hair in my hand and tugged on it gently while moving it away from her back. I could tell she was enjoying it and was very relaxed at that point. At one point, I bent over the edge of the bath to kiss her. She was anticipating a long slow kiss, but I teasingly pulled back after a short kiss and smiled at her. She lustily grabbed me by the back of the neck and pulled me back towards her and laid the most passionate kiss on me that I've had from her in over a year. After her bath, I wrapped her in a warm towel that I had pulled from the dryer and gave her a long hug.
I imagined and even felt things starting to progress towards ML, but I still couldn't fully bust through that wall, we didn't ML and I didn't pressure her. I did make an impression however and can sense it in her actions and words over the past couple of days. I can feel her attraction towards me and I have not felt that in a long time. I've been playing it very cool, still in detached mood and letting her come to me.
I'm not going to place high expectations on this one event, but I can say that it felt "new" again between us. A very exciting feeling! I do think my outburst had something to do with her sudden interest. I think she finally realized that I was done and was moving on without her. I don't know where this is going to go, but I can say she is definitely taking a second look at her decision.
