hoped
Held positive expectations
Hoped is the past tense of hope—to want something to happen and believe it possible.
It often appears with a clause: I hoped you'd call, She hoped for better news.
Hoped can carry a note of disappointment when the wish didn't come true: I had hoped we could work this out.
