22 | "Do you have to say your thoughts out loud for them to mean anything" Paul asked Jill on his first coffee break at work. | ||
23 | It was in the city and his mother told him she wouldn't drive him so he'd had to take the bus. | ||
24 | Number 3 he thought it was. | ||
25 | [He couldn't quite remember.][remember] | ||
26 | Jill said "Sorry what?" | ||
27 | Paul realized that she hadn't really noticed him there in the break room as he was hunched behind the refrigerator a little and she was busy pouring coffee and exactly two tablespoons of both milk and sugar into her mug before she put the coffee in. | ||
28 | He decided to repeat the question. | ||
29 | |||
30 | "How do you think" he asked. | ||
31 | "Like everyone else I guess" she said "I have a thought and if it's important I write it down." | ||
32 | "Do you have to say them out loud for them to make sense?" | ||
33 | "Are you asking if I talk to myself?" | ||
34 | A pause. | ||
35 | "I guess so" he said looking down. | ||
36 | He had a feeling this was a bad thing. | ||
37 | "Sometimes" she said and walked out of the break room. | ||
38 | She didn't understand the importance of his question. | ||
39 | She popped her head back in a moment later and his heart leaped in his chest. | ||
40 | |||
41 | "How's your first day going so far" she asked. | ||
42 | "Can you understand everything okay?" | ||
43 | "Yes" he said "you were right it's pretty basic." | ||
44 | "Good" she said. | ||
45 | "Paul?" | ||
46 | "Yes." | ||
47 | "Do you have to say all of your thoughts out loud to remember them?" | ||
48 | He shook his head. | ||
49 | |||
50 | Only all of the time, Paul thought to himself but didn't speak. | ||
