A sign

A girl and a boy are having dinner together. The girl accidentally drops a fry into her water, effectively contaminating it. The boy has his water, full to the rim, and continues to drink from it while she's eating a salty, spicy sandwich. They finish their meal, the boy finishing his glass of ice water, the girl finishing her sandwich, parched.

It did not even cross the boy's mind to offer her a sip of his water. Still though, the girl could have just asked, "Can I have a sip of your water please?" at which the point the boy would have probably said sure. Boys aren't mind-readers. Moreover, it was his water and if he didn't want to share it, that's his prerogative.

And little details are just little details...Right?
