SHHHHH It seems I've blown a lot of things just by mentioning them. Things are going along - maybe for a month, maybe for a week, but long enough for me to get confident enough to actually say something. So I do. And then it ends. Never dramatically. It just kind of disappears.
I usually have the ability to make something happen by just speaking of it, but not when it comes to relationships. Relationships are backwards. Speak of them and they fly away.
