The Silence Between Us

Part 2

My heart was beating fast.

Very fast.

He stood there quietly.

Hands inside his pockets.

Eyes avoiding mine.

For a moment, neither of us spoke.

Honestly, the silence itself started becoming uncomfortable.

Then finally, he sat down slowly on the chair opposite me.

_And ; s sighed.

Not normal sighing.

Heavy sighing.

The type people do when carrying something inside for too long.

Then he looked at me.

Directly.
