A silence. He looked back at his plate. “No,” he said. Just that. One word. Barely anything. But in this apartment, from this man, at this table, It was everything. We finished dinner in a silence that was full rather than empty. The kind that comes after something true has been said and both people have decided to let it breathe.

Not a word… just that.
