You're ready to listen, but you don't have room for bullshit. Some days, 'good morning' is ambitious enough. You're awake, but your patience hasn't checked in yet.
For anyone who prefers the silence before the first coffee: distance. Not mean-spirited. Just temporarily allergic to unnecessary energy waste.
Come by if you still have something to say. Let the tension drop, we'll talk quietly then. I'm waiting for your story, not your excuses.
