Neverending story...
The past month or so has been fairly up and down, but mostly down, GIL-wise. She hasn't minded me nearly as much as I'd have liked to, and this time I didn't do anything to deserve it. That was the drift until yesterday (but then..).

So indeed, yesterday she took me for a ride on her new motorbike. I didn't even ask for it, she just said to bring a helmet and that's it. When we met up she was nice and willing to talk to me, and during the ride and afterwards as well.
Mind you that while we were on the motorbike she said to put my arms around her instead of the knobs behind the seat, which in other words means I was as close to her as I haven't been since, well, a long long time (last time I was this close to her I think was back when we went skiing). Plus, she tried to discuss the muddy affair surrounding our friends (re: cheating), which was quite remarkable of her... and good, because I was tired of being the only one to bear such cross.

All was well, all was better than I'd have expected, but then... then we moved to a place where she accidentally bumped into her ex (the one of 1 and a half year ago.. not those in-between), and that threw her into an impressive downward moodshift spiral. It really upset her, and probably opened a wound that had never really healed. It hurt me to see her like that, and I was sad for her because it had been a positive night thus far. I wish I could have said or done something, but I never feel entitled to do so, at least not with her.
I'm pretty sure it has affected her, but I hope this hasn't put her back into blue-land.
