I just want to make sure I'm reading this correctly because I've been out of the dating loop for a little while.

I've got a client with whom I've had a friendly but thoroughly professional relationship with for several years. She's always been chatty but not overtly flirtatious. That stands to reason since I was introduced to her through her husband. Her husband has been absent in their relationship for a number of years. Not just emotionally distant kind of absent but living in another state kind of absent. This past year she got a divorce and I'm pretty sure that I was one of the first phone calls she made once the paperwork was signed. So today she came in to drop stuff off and shoot the breeze. As she was showing me pictures of her flooded house she came around the desk so I could see the phone better and if she was standing any closer she'd have been in my lap. I'm talking her hair was in my ear kind of close. If I remember correctly from back in the day that was an invitation. Am I mistaken or should I just wait for something in writing to confirm it?
 
I'd wait for something in writing. ;)

Wait for her to make it obvious. If she does and you decide to go for it, take it SLOWLY. Start with simple social stuff that isn't even a date and work up to the first date over a month or two. She is likely in a very vulnerable state right now and this could be a rebound fling or something of that nature. I would go in without a goal and see what develops naturally over time.
