Proceed with caution. I think maybe not giving this person all your attention right away, show them that the time away made you find yourself, and if you decide to get together and talk take it slow. Make sure that this is really what you want.
I think it’s good that she’s showing interest! However don’t give her too much of it, let her know that you’re busy, doing your stuff, play a little hard to get but not too much. Good luck!
