We’ll see. I have learned not to get too hopeful until the results are known.

Good choice. This is a negotiation, and that’s how negotiations work. Let’s say you’re selling a used car and the buyer is all thumbs up but when he shows up to make the payment, he frowns and says, Well, I’ve been thinking and I’m just not comfortable going ahead without this one thing being fixed”... You want to make the deal, you want to avoid all the pain that will come if you don’t - so you’re pretty likely to give him what he wants. Bargaining strength is always greatest at the decision point approaches.
