The moment held between reaching and speaking again.

The moment held between reaching and speaking again. Stone still cool in the early evening, dust moving slowly through air that is almost still. A room where light enters from one side, catching half a face, the other half in shadow, not hiding but deepening. Two people sitting across from each other with enough distance between them that the space itself becomes a thing that matters. What is unspoken is present in that space. No promises offered. No pretense that the weight is lighter than it is. Only steadiness: the stone, the dust, the light that does not change, and the presence of someone who stays.
