=== Bev (44, Farmington, NM) ===
|

voice: Wendy
|
||||
emotional_register: Forthright and slightly combative in a charming way — a person who has been talked out of her own perceptions before and has decided not to let that happen again
|
||||
secret_want: To have someone acknowledge that the embarrassment is Ashleigh's problem being projected, not Bev's problem being revealed — she wants the shame returned to its rightful owner
|
||||
|
||||
CALLER (Bev, 44, Farmington, NM): I need to preface this by saying I am fully aware that competitive jigsaw puzzling sounds like a bit, but I placed fourteenth in the nationals in 2024 so I need you to take me seriously here.
|
||||
LUKE: Wait — really?
|
||||
CALLER: Yeah, really. I know how it sounds, I do. But there's a whole circuit, there are rankings, there's prize money. I mean, not like sports money, but real money. And the skill involved — people don't understand that it's not just sitting around doing puzzles like you're retired. It's strategy, it's technique, it's knowing your own cognitive patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
I've been competing for six years now. I've won three regionals. I trained ninety minutes a day to get to nationals. Ninety minutes. Every single day.
|
||||
|
||||
So I need you to understand that this is a thing I do seriously before I explain why my son's girlfriend watching me do it is making me want to lose my mind.
|
||||
LUKE: Is that right?
|
||||
CALLER: Yeah. Look, I work nights at the ER — three nights a week, eleven to seven — and I do my training in the two hours before my shift. So I'm often at the kitchen table in my full scrubs, completely locked in, doing these gradient puzzles. Those are the ones that are almost all one color, right? Most people avoid them because they seem impossible, but I've built a specific technique around sorting by cardboard texture instead of color. That's my edge.
|
||||
|
||||
And it was fine. It was just my thing. I'd get home from work at seven in the morning, have my coffee, and then Dale would be around sometimes but he'd just — he'd leave me alone. It was quiet. It was mine.
|
||||
|
||||
Then Ashleigh started coming over more regularly, and now she just sits at the kitchen table while I'm working and watches me with this expression on her face like I'm doing something sad that she's too polite to name. And suddenly I hate it. I hate being watched doing the thing I love.
|
||||
LUKE: Go on.
|
||||
CALLER: Well, that's kind of the thing, right? I don't know if I'm allowed to ask her to stop. Not to leave the room — I'm not trying to be that person. But just to not watch me. To look at her phone or read something or just sit with her back to me or something.
|
||||
|
||||
Is that crazy? Is that a crazy thing to want?
|
||||
|
||||
Because here's what's happening. She's perfectly nice. I know she's perfectly nice. Dale's a good kid, he chose well. But she's introduced this feeling into something that was only ever joy before, and I resent it. I resent that I now feel self-conscious doing the thing I trained for, the thing I'm genuinely good at.
|
||||
|
||||
And I'm wondering if maybe I should just ask her, or if that makes me the unreasonable one. Like, is asking someone to stop watching you something that signals I'm the problem here?
|
||||
LUKE: And then what?
|
||||
CALLER: And then what, what do you mean?
