We were staying in the room, even when it was uncomfortable, even when neither of us particularly liked what the other was saying. But there was also progress. Real, visible progress, the kind that built on itself over weeks until I could look back and see how far we had actually come, even on the days it felt like we were standing still. We started going for walks together. Just around the neighborhood at first, nothing elaborate, but something about moving side by side instead of sitting across a table from each other made conversation easier somehow. We didn't have to hold eye contact the whole time. We could just walk and talk, and let the silences between us feel comfortable instead of

It was as if he was inviting me to see this place through his eyes, to appreciate its nuances and charm as he did. The small talk, though seemingly innocuous, held within it a subtle power—a bridge that connected us, a conduit for understanding and connection. The feeling of being engaged in conversation was a reminder that communication is not merely a transaction of words, but a gateway to shared experiences, a means of forging bonds and traversing the territory of human connection.

“You were just sitting there, quiet and still. James might have thought you might have looked odd..” “What do I do then!?” I whine. “Speak up to him, make a conversation.” He says before the cashier asks for our orders. After paying for the drinks, he looked at me. “Think of a topic to talk about..” “I don’t know anything to talk about..” I pout. He looks at James and Ginger still arguing. “Looks like Ginger knows what to talk about better than you..” He says. This made me look at them. Something within those lines kind of hurt but it was true. Ginger knew how to start conversations better than me.

I think most people’s problems come from miscommunication. If you don’t ask, you don’t get, at the end of the day,” I’d added with a shrug.

“Good. I’ve been practicing my collapse. Want to see?” “No collapsing! We need... strategies. Seating charts. Escape routes. Neutral topics.” Robin grinned. “You want to give two fire-breathing dragons a conversation starter?” “Better than letting them improvise.” She laughed. “Okay, okay. We’ll make a list. I’ll even put it in my Notes app next to ‘things to say to make Micah blush in public.’” I narrowed my eyes. “That’s a list?” “Oh, it’s extensive.” “Give me one.”

“Calm down, buddy. I was just making conversation. But if you do not enjoy a good conversation, I do not manifest anymore. — You can speak up when you want to talk about something relevant. Like, for instance, telling me where you intend to begin your investigation. I want this case to be resolved as soon as possible.

Maybe I should help? “Why were you waiting?” I ask gently. Her eyes fly open and a smile crosses her face. Apparently she appreciated my poor attempt to continue the conversation. Maybe this isn’t as hard as I thought. Instead of worrying about saying the right thing, maybe I should focus on just trying to talk at all, or encourage her to talk if I can’t do it myself.

I know that if I end up having a conversation with her now, it will end up in a misunderstanding, which is what I’m trying to avoid.” I heaved a sigh after talking to Martha about how I feel. She was quiet the whole time I was talking because, obviously, she was trying to understand what I was talking about. This is why I love talking to her; she has the best advice for every conversation.
