****** // “This is Still Her — Episode Six: Let Them Watch.” They say I’m too much. Too emotional. Too loud. Too public. But I’ve been quiet before. I was quiet when I lost my baby. I was quiet when he touched my waist in public and ignored me in bed. I was quiet when my writing was stolen and twisted. I was quiet when my body stopped trusting him — and I blamed myself.

“Even her silence chooses me. She doesn’t shield you from doubt. She doesn’t defend you from me. That’s because, deep down, she knows I speak the truth you fear.” Luca’s hand shot up, clutching Amara’s wrist as though her touch might vanish. His voice cracked into a broken whisper. “No… no, Amara, please. Tell me he’s wrong. Tell me this silence doesn’t mean you’re slipping away.” Her throat worked violently. A strangled sound almost broke free. But again, nothing. The chapel filled with the storm of Luca’s ragged breathing, Ethan’s steady calm, and Amara’s unbearable quiet. It was then that Luca realized, silence wasn’t neutral anymore. It wasn’t absence. It had become Ethan’s weapon.

Marcus Silence is a funny thing. You think you want it, until you’re staring it in the face and it’s not peace at all. It’s absence. It’s unanswered texts and calls that don’t come.

To me, it was the most beautiful name in the world. I wasn't always mute. I used to speak—until my parents passed away in a car accident when I was three. After that, my voice disappeared. Then, when my grandmother died, I was left utterly alone. But those moments with my family were the happiest of my life. None of this mattered, though.
