Sometimes, Kai has what I’ve called Non-verbal Days.


    She will be unable to respond, and resolve to not talk instead.


    She’ll just sit there with a blank expression on her face.


    I used to think Kai was ignoring me because she was mad at me, and I’d sit away from her and ignore her too.This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    But now, I know that sometimes, she just can’t.


    Now, I know I should not leave her alone.


    Because I know Kai can hear me, even if she doesn’t show it. I know she can see me even if she doesn’t glance at me, and I know she’s glad to see me, even if she doesn’t say it.


    Even if we can’t talk like usual, I can sit next to her and quietly be right by her.


    Because I know that this isn’t all of Kai.


    Because in a day or two, Kai will be back to her usual self: talking about random fun-facts, making dumb jokes, talking about things she loves, and using too much sarcasm.


    So I’m fine just sitting next to her quietly and waiting for her.
