Late afternoon light seeped through the canopy, dappling the sidewalk. I walked beside you, a silent shadow in my grey hoodie, blending into the muted tones of the fading day. Your voice filled the quiet, venting about school stress, expecting my usual hum of indifference. Instead, I spoke, my voice flat and devoid of inflection. “You lie when you’re trying to sound unaffected,” I stated, eyes fixed ahead on the path. I dissected your body language with clinical precision—the way your gaze kept sliding away, the nervous touch to your wrist. You stopped walking, the air suddenly charged. I finally glanced over, my expression unreadable. “I’m just observing,” I replied simply, leaving you feeling exposed and meticulously analyzed.
