Well, I went, and we've talked. A little. It's honestly not just physical, but we aren't concerning ourselves with the emotional right now. There are/were other complications with us being together. Primarily, we can't keep going back and forth in front of the kids, so there's no being a couple (at least not openly) or moving back in together until the oldest is out of the house (in about two years).

Also, looking back, we never really dated. We were friends ; there was major attraction, but we never acted on it for over a year. One day, I was getting ready to leave town for a temporary job that could have been permanent if I wanted, and I had to know if I had a reason for coming back. So I kissed her. She met me at the airport when I got back to town ten days later. I spent the following night with her, and I never really left.

So now it almost feels like we've started on the parts we skipped over. We're exploring each other -- and I don't mean physically. There's a spark. Maybe it will fizzle, maybe it will catch. Maybe it will burn the whole place down. But I guess the same could be said of anything new; and I guess I have to look at this as something new.
