Nope. He also doesn't know that i wrote this. He was busy working in a room across the hall and down a few feet, and i was just wandering back and forth down the hall and then went into a different room than the one he was in.

Not necessarily spoken of, but remembered. A bit like when someone says that something is "on the tip of my tongue", but much stronger (since "on the tip..." only means that you're almost remembering it), as if you were tasting the memory floating around in your mouth.
