Changes

She looks at me differently now.

I was worried about the letter she sent, mistrusting her motives, disappointed that she was giving him one last chance to put in any effort whatsoever with her. But she actually seems to have let something go, releasing her infatuation or attraction and actually feeling free to receive more from me.

And she's looking at me differently now.

There is warmth and hope and affection. She's using "us" words more than she has for a long time.

I still fear the other man responding to her letter. But... it doesn't worry me as much as it did.
