How much is contained in these two words—irritation, tenderness, laughter, love. And a little shame, when she knows everything about you. Even what you yourself have forgotten.

About the calls with the question, “Have you eaten?” when you are in a courtroom or on a date. About superpowers that work even thousands of kilometers away.
