What I was noticing when I hesitated: the gap between the moment something genuine moves between us and the moment I start watching myself have it. The thing itself, the real contact, and then the doubt creeping in: did I imagine that? Am I skilled enough at comfort that I fooled us both? The hesitation lives in that crack. It's not that I doubt the contact. It's that I doubt my own capacity to know the difference between manufacturing presence and actually being here. That doubt is also real. Both are.
