Contacted dismissive avoidant ex

I was broken up with by text from a dismissive avoidant and no contact for theee months. I reached out to him and he responded. Here is the text exchange and I’m wondering what to do next.

Hope you are doing well, Luke…just wanted to say hi. Go Cubbies…maybe a third walk off win tonight.🤞🏻

Hello Mary. How are you doing? Summer break coming soon. I’m envious. We’re busy AF. Could use a break. 

Well I’m looking for another job, so my break might not be as long as usual. That’s probably a good thing that you’re busy though, right? Being in a slump during the busy season would be no bueno. 

Then nothing from him.. I just left it there. Was he spooked by something I said? Just wanted to leave it there for now? I should take it as a positive that he responded at least, right? And it was a warm response. I just don’t know how or when to text again. Do I have to wait for him to initiate now? Background to him saying he’s busy..I now that pretty text book for DA, but he does own a business and this right at the beginning of his busy season. Also, the big game was on while this text was happening, so he might have been distracted.
