What impression do I leave on her?

She gets an impression of someone who doesn't follow the script — and who's half looking somewhere else. Whether that lands as warmth or as distance depends on which of those two she keeps.

The spread (three cards, drawn just now):

Past — The Hierophant, reversed. The impression started as *not the expected thing*. You didn't walk in playing the role she (or the people around her) already had a template for — that's the first thing that registers, and it's why you're being wondered about at all.

Present — Three of Wands. What she registers now is direction: someone with plans, aimed outward, watching the next horizon. Foresight and leadership are on the card, but so is *distance* — the figure in the card stands on a cliff looking away from where he is. If this is the whole of what she sees, the impression that sticks is "interesting, and not quite in the room." The cards don't report that she minds it; that's the part I can't read.

Future — Ace of Cups. One cup, held out, not poured. If the outward-looking stance continues, what arrives is an offer of warmth rather than a feeling already in progress — new and open, but small and conditional on it actually being made. That's a tendency under the condition above, not something scheduled.

The suit tension is the real tension here: fire (Wands, doing, going) against water (Cups, feeling, presence). Fire tends to outrun the emotional tempo.

Conditional: if you keep being the person she only sees in fragments — plans, exits, next things — the impression stays "worth knowing but hard to read." If she gets at least one full, undiverted stretch of you — no next plan mentioned — the same cards point somewhere warmer.

One step, inside 48 hours: in ordinary conversation, ask her about one specific moment she was actually there for — not "what do you think of me," which gets you a pleasant nothing — something like *"when we were at ___, what did you make of me?"* — and write down her actual words before you interpret them. What comes back is her impression in her vocabulary; cards can't give you that, and the shape of her sentence will tell you which of the two readings above is the live one.
