Oh, I didn't know you broke up.

You explicitly broke up, and your prior for "she's over you" is only 30%?

Also, if she was breaking up, but maybe changing her mind, a 90% chance of answering your call seems too high, but I have no experience with these matters.

Ah. Sorry I didn't make that clear.
Yeah, that particular prior is low at least partly because of my wishful thinking.

Not that it seems to have helped. =/
