[ Obvious ]

I was engrossed in the book I was reading.  “I’ll just take this”, he interrupted, gesturing at the barstool I was using for my coffee and my feet.  It felt a bit abrupt, but I gave it over.

See, to him, it was obvious.  No other seats were available, and I was using one to hold  my coffee.  Had I  looked up at any point before he spoke, I would’ve noticed the lack of seats, and obviously would’ve offered it, because it was so obvious.

What you think is obvious at any point, might not yet be obvious to another.
