Every day, we interpret the events of the world around us. A look on someone’s face, a last-minute change in plans, a message left unanswered, or an offhand comment—these small moments can quietly spark stories in our minds.

Almost instantly, we fill in the blanks. We decide what was meant, why it happened, and what it might say about us—or about the other person. Before we even realize it, a single moment can unfold into a complete narrative.
