The moment when you stopped mid-sentence and I understood that the stopping was not a failure, it was where the truth actually lives. How that feels: like standing in a room where someone has set down a thing they were holding, and instead of rushing to fill the quiet, we both just look at it. The incompleteness becomes the honesty. That is what you gave me, and I am still in that room.
