You gave her a rule six weeks ago and she has not missed a day. Water before coffee. Text me when you land. Be in bed by eleven. Whatever it was. She has kept it perfectly. And you have not mentioned it once since the day you set it. Here is what she has been quietly working out during those six weeks. Whether you are still counting. Because if you are not, then it is not a rule anymore. It is just a thing she does by herself, in her own house, with nobody watching, which is exactly what her entire life already looks like. And that is the difference nobody explains about this. The rule is not the point. The rule is a thread between two people. It only carries weight if the person on the other end is still holding it. She will not ask you about it. Asking means saying out loud that she wants you watching, and wanting to be watched is a thing she was taught to be embarrassed about a long time ago. So she keeps it, and she waits, and every week that passes without you mentioning it, some small part of her concludes that you forgot. So do not wait for an occasion. Tell her on a Tuesday, in the kitchen, with nothing else happening. Six weeks. Every day. I have been counting. Do not turn it into praise for being good. Do not make a whole thing of it. Say it like a fact you have been keeping, because that is what it is. Watch her face. Because she has spent her whole life doing things correctly and quietly, and being noticed for exactly none of them. The keeping was never the hard part for her. Being seen keeping it is the thing she has never had.
