She gives me a strange look over her shoulder as she’s walking away, and then replies, “Happy New Year!”
A minute later I realize that, while I meant to apologize because I had forgotten to tell her Happy New Year, as a result of the weirdly ambiguous way that I had phrased that, she probably thought that I was chastising her for not saying it to me.
The feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach takes all morning to dissipate.
