You wake up and reach for your phone.
No messages.
You make coffee. Take a shower. Check again.
Still nothing.
Nobody needs a ride. Nobody has a problem. Nobody is asking if you have a minute.
You put the phone down. For a while, you keep expecting it to buzz.
It doesn’t.
By afternoon, you’ve stopped carrying it from room to room. You leave it on the kitchen counter while you do something else.
An hour passes before you remember where it is.
You pick it up.
Still nothing.
You smile before you realize you’re doing it.
