I’d take it that she’ll be ready when she says. Assuming it’s a date of her return to work, just like any other type of leave there has to be a time frame on it, that’s all it is, otherwise it wouldn’t be a leave.
You're right. I did/do? have a wonderful relationship with L. I guess the fact that I am still holding on is evidence of that. We did make a good strong foundation for our relationship, and both of us haven't steered away from that. And she still goes beyond what is agreed upon: her emails are long emails, not short little paragraphs. I know there was/is a lot of good between us. And I guess I'm still holding hope. I think I'm just scared and hurting. I've never had someone leave (for good reasons) and come back. T came back from her maternity leave, but I didn't continue with her.

Good point about the definition of a leave. That there has to be an end date. I'll try to keep that in mind.
