She had never really understood that part of him, but she kept at it almost everyday in the hopes that she would reach some level of understanding. She would glance over at him and find him making faces to himself like he was watching himself in the mirror right before a big meeting. Most of the time it was while they were just sitting around watching TV – she would feel him moving slightly against her and tilt her head up to see that it was his jaw and neck moving like he was responding to what was said. After awhile she decided that asking him about it would make him either explain it all to her or closet it up. The thought of him having to talk to himself in the bathroom was too much for her, and she decided to just leave it and let him go on with it. It tasted more like mystery that way.
