IMHO you just answered your own question
Maybe thoughts of being "smothered" did resurface, but all is not lost
It's my belief, just like you can rekindle negative emotions you can do the same with positive emotions (as evidenced with your recent date) with someone you have history with.
That's why a number of guys experience the "comeback pussy" phenomenon
Just as you proposed - hit the reset button
Go silent for two weeks (unless she reengages), keep normal gaming activities and re-engage
Don't pull the plug just yet, we aren't mind readers so this still may be savable.
