I recently left a job and as soon as I left me and a colleague there started communicating 100x more than we ever did when I worked there. Good morning and good night texts, selfies, kiss emojis etc. She has a boyfriend, but doesn’t mention him much. When she does it’s good things.

I have never bought her anything, or done her any favors.

Is this beta/orbiter behavior, or is this a thing where a couple drinks and she’ll forget about her boyfriend for a night? I mean clearly she isn’t getting something from him at home.
