Your writing is so compelling, and I love the message of this. I completely agree that we don't listen to others enough, sometimes people are too self-absorbed. I love how you started by talking about how perhaps it was what you were wearing and things that you'd noticed about yourself but she wouldn't have. I like how you gradually led us to the conclusion. Thank you for sharing this with us.
PS: I'm new here, my friends suggested that I also make an account here. Your work is the first, apart from my friends', that I've commented on. It was a pleasure to read.
PSS: What attracted me to your post at first (just in case you want to know), was the title. It seemed fun, and it indeed was :)
