Last night

Went OK. Not great. But OK. Civil. Not friendly. Seemingly, not strained or too troubled....

A bit confusing when as we walked to the parking lot after dinner, she invited me to her hotel.... apparently, just for company / companionship (although, it's hard to know for certain what her purpose was -- may very well have been the typical "test"). Of course, I accepted, as I don't knowingly reject her....

Oh, and I invited her on a Friday night date, but she turned it down due to it being "community theatre..." sneer.... Yipe!!

Sat and watched TV on opposite ends of the couch (she was staying in a suite hotel, for pete's sake. What's with that!!?? Anyway, some snowy / slippery weather came in and she suggested I might drive her all-wheel drive car home, get my stuff for the rest of the week (remember, she asked me to check in early at my work-hotel) and come back to the room.... "Shorter commute in the a.m. for you..."

Couldn't tell what else was going on. Again, maybe testing her safety ? in some manner.... entertaining faint hope of fixing the relationship or something. Who knows. Anyway, I took up the offer. We slept on far sides of the king bed.... I didn't sleep too well -- the ole hypervigilance. But, no conflict, and none this a.m.

Of course, there is TODAY....
