The clatter of plates filled the awkward silence that
hovered between them. Neither of them seemed to notice. He stared down at his
plate. How was he supposed to respond to that? She looked at his dejected
posture. Why wasn’t he saying anything? They both continued to sit there in
silence.
You can’t really blame either of them. Who would have
expected news like that? Who would have expected a reaction like that? They
each sat in their own silence: one forlorn and one concerned, as the noise of
the diner continued around them. Neither of them touched their food.
