I had been practicing it while I ate cold food alone in the dark kitchen. “You called me the 'Silent Moore' in your papers. You wrote that I was reserved and unimpressive. I was silent because I was a contract. I thought my silence was the price of safety. I was wrong. I thought if I stayed quiet, I would be safe. But silence is just a slower way to disappear.”

I knew she just wanted me to react so I could be seen as a bad one. My mom always says, Silence is the best answer given to a fool. I perceived the fact that there was a compendium of foolish, stupid, and obsessed people. Exchanging words with such people would only make me stoop so low, and I couldn’t allow that. His mom was waiting for me to react, but after remembering what my mom told me, I just put myself together and kept quiet. She felt ashamed as no one answered; it was more painful and pitiful when Tyler said, “Could we observe our table manners?”

She moved around the podium like she owned it. SOPHIA “Good evening.” I started,my eyes scanning through the not-so-much crowd. “I use to think silence was strength. I use to think I shouldn't speak up when I am hurt. I thought it made me tougher.” I paused,while trying to catch my breathe. “But silence isn't enought. It's survival. It's you becoming bold. Standing and speaking up for yourself. Loudly. Bodly. Toughly. “ There was a slight murmur in the crowd.

Ya, right, let us back track that entire thing. A great man once said, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Didn't he add an "aw, fuck it" on the end? That's the part I can't get right. "Fuck it, and fuck you." I say it, and I think it, and I never believe it.

The moon hung low, swollen and bright, like it was listening in. He leaned against the railing again, same posture as earlier, except now the anger had cooled into something sharper. Disappointment, maybe. Or worry. That one always cut deeper. “Funny thing about silence,” he said after a while. “People think it means control. Most times, it just means you’re scared to say the wrong thing.” I let out a breath through my nose. “You always this philosophical at night, or am I special?” He huffed. “Congratulations. You bring out my inner elder.”

Shouting at Miren to stop acting like a fool. "Stop doing that and be quiet."

Althea asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "Silence," Mrs. Ruiz replied, her tone resolute. "Your silence is the most powerful weapon you have in this situation." Althea looked at her mother, her brow furrowed. "But how can I just stay silent, when they've done all of this?" she asked, her voice full of confusion and doubt. "Because a silent woman is a deadly woman," Mrs. Ruiz said. "Silence is golden, as they say," Mrs. Sobrerano said, a knowing look in her eyes. "A well-timed silence can say more than any words ever could."

What did he think I wanted? “The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.” I deadpanned Alastor. If Harriet was her, I knew her sentiment would be something along the lines of ‘Come at me, bitch.’ “Shakespeare?” Alastor seemed less guarded but definitely thrown off. “Of course.” I walked over towards the bookshelves with my hands grasped behind my back. “I say there is no darkness but ignorance.” I turned to face Alastor. The surprise was etched into every pore.

The atmosphere, however, was absolutely noiseless. Wanting to break the silence, she could only find this one appropriate thing to say. She obviously knew that at this moment, he was mentally defective. Why bother listening carefully to listen to what he had to say and why bother… taking it to heart? Yes, a mentally deficient man was no different to a child who knew nothing. It was not an exaggeration to call him an idiot, so why bother… taking what an idiot said to heart?

Realized I had no idea what I was even saying anymore. “I’m going to stop talking now.” And yet… I didn’t. “I mean, I should stop talking. That would be smart. Logical. Less mortifying. But for some reason, I can’t. Because the silence is worse. Or maybe because you’re just—staring at me like I’m a riddle made of soup. And not the good kind. Like, the watery kind that doesn’t have enough seasoning and makes you wonder why it exists.” I winced. “Oh my gods. What am I saying?”
