play partner remembered a tiny detail about me and i absolutely melted

second meet with this couple, hadnt seen them in 3 months. when we sat down for drinks the other husband said "hows the rescue cat settling in, you said he was hiding under the bed last time" and i cannot describe what that did to me. he remembered. it wasnt about the play it was about the listening. ended up being one of the warmest nights weve ever had. is this a thing? small acts of being remembered hitting harder than the obvious stuff...
