Surprisingly improving faster than I expected!

Maybe she just had a good day today, but she seemed quite excited to see me. Of course, she again tried not to show it too much, but it became evident immediately that she was happy to see me, and as I figured out later, the moment she saw me, she was already concocting a plan in her head to get some personal play time with me and me alone. I'm surprised how quickly things have begun turning around and hope they're going to continue in this direction.

She actually let me see how happy she was to see me for a change. I could tell very well that she was wanting more interaction with me, but for some reason she was fighting herself to avoid interacting with me too much. Maybe eventually I'll get to the bottom of that reason and I won't have to guess at it anymore. It doesn't matter what the reason is, though; as long as I know she loves me, and she knows I love her. To me, she is the best little girl in the world, and I always treat her as such. Whatever her reasons for pretending she doesn't love me, she will get over them in time, and I'll be waiting for her on the other side of those reasons with open arms. And as qtns suggested, she really could be playing hard to get. Time will tell.
