Is someone lying awake at night thinking

Short answer: the cards don't show anyone lying awake — they show someone keeping it level. What this reading does support is that there was a real mutual beat, and that whatever is there now is being held in plain words rather than rehearsed in the dark.

• Past — Two of Cups, upright. Something was genuinely mutual at one point: attraction, an actual two-sided thing, not your projection.
• Present — Queen of Swords, upright. This is the hinge. Clear boundaries, plain speech, accuracy over warmth. Read it this way: their feelings, whatever they are, are being managed rather than indulged — and if that's true, "up at night thinking about you" is not their standing condition.
• Future — Page of Pentacles, reversed. Only a tendency, and only if the present keeps its shape: the next real move from them looks small, practical, and slightly delayed — underestimating the effort, or leaving it in drafts. If what you actually see is unpolished effort rather than tidy words, this seat flips.

So: judge it by what they do this week, not by what you imagine at night. Cards don't report another person's mind — they report the signals you can see and the expectation you're pouring into the seat.

One step, within 48 hours: pull up one full week of their messages with you and count three things — who starts each thread, how fast the reply lands, how long it runs. That record is the real check; a message you send to test them is not, and I wouldn't send one.
