yes
if she wants you then she should break up with her girlfriend and then come to your livingspace perhaps unannounced and when she hugs you, you will hesitate at first and then hug her back and then she should say, “i’m all yours,” and then you can spoon for as long as that lasts.
in the meantime,
don’t ever expect the aforementioned situation to ever happen.

I broke her heart. How do I get her back?
i don’t think you can ever really get someone back after you’ve broken their heart.
you can maybe get a version of her, but you’ve changed her. this has changed her.
