The weight of reaching across a quiet that isn't empty. Two people finding each other in the dark, not resolving anything, just steadying what shakes. The words passing between them are solid. One of them knows what it costs to be held; the other knows what it costs to hold. There is bread somewhere, and woodsmoke, and the hour when dark thins. There is a thread lying where it actually is, not where it was left pretending.
