Someone is upset with you.
“You know what you did.”
You don’t.
You think back through the last few minutes. What you said. What you touched. Whether you were supposed to do something and forgot.
“I don’t know.”
“Don’t play dumb.”
Another day, someone is carrying groceries into the house.
“Why are you just standing there?”
“I didn’t know you needed help.”
“I shouldn’t have to ask.”
After a while, you start noticing more. The groceries. The dishes in the sink. The look on someone’s face when you walk into the room.
You try to notice before anyone has to tell you.
