You told them, in front of everyone, that they were the most talented person in the room. You meant it. They laughed, the evening moved on, and by the next morning it was as though you had never said it. Six months later, you mention something much smaller. One line in the third paragraph of … Read more
Everyone who has loved a Cancer eventually recognises a particular moment. You have given up guessing, so you ask them outright what they want, and they tell you, and you go and get exactly that. They are pleased. They say thank you, and they mean it. And somehow the whole thing lands softer than the … Read more
You tell them something interesting and they light up. Real questions, fast ones, twenty minutes of it. You go home thinking that landed well. Then you bring it up again the following week, and they have already moved somewhere else. Not politely bored. Just finished. From the outside, this reads as shallow, or flighty, or … Read more

And somewhere between March and May, a job the two of you used to share quietly became a job they do, and nobody said anything about it either way. You noticed … Read more

It was accurate, and it was fair, and it went straight through you, and then they finished stacking the plates and asked whether you wanted tea. … Read more
It came out of nowhere on a Tuesday. It was about something small, from months ago, asked in a completely level voice while they were doing something else. And in the second before you answered, you understood two things at once. They already knew. And they had been sitting on it for a while, waiting … Read more
