Her parting words, at 5:30am at the airport curbside... not "I love you" or "wish me luck in Florida", but... "have fun, but not too much!"

Sums up a lot, I think.

More like... the most important worry on her mind was keeping me in check while she was out of town. Outweighing anything positive...

Or, she could have just been joking and trying to lighten the mood. I know if I'm getting on a plane at oh-dark-ungodly, the most important thing on my mind is forgetting how ridiculously early it is.

You know, like when someone says "Don't burn the house down!" - they don't really think you're going to burn the house down, they're just telling you to relax and have a good time.

Unless, of course, you know, you have a history of trying to burn down the house.

In which case all bets are off.

C'mon, Brian. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, you know?

Yes, exactly. And more importantly...if there's two ways to interpret something your partner has said, and one of them makes you mad, go for the other one. That comes from wretched experience.
