She Never Told Him What Her Family Was Asking... He Was Waiting For Her To Say Something

Marcus Aurelius wrote that everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact — and everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. For four months, James heard "family stuff." He saw inconvenience. He told himself he was giving Claire space. What he was actually doing was waiting for her to make it easy for him to engage. This fictional story explores what happens when two people both wait for the other to go first — and what they find when one of them finally just goes.
