Anne had a feeling her life wouldn't be either.

I set him on his bed, my hands still shaking as I tucked the quilt around his chin. ​“New game,” I whispered, my voice a jagged needle. “The best game. It’s called the ‘Quiet Mouse.’ You stay under the blankets, and you don’t make a single peep. Not a cough, not a giggle. If you win, you get the big truck with the yellow wheels. But you cannot come out until I say the secret word. Do you understand?” ​Leo’s eyes were huge, glassy with fever, but he nodded, sensing the life-or-death stakes in my tone. I kissed his forehead, backed out of the room, and clicked the door shut just as the knock came again—louder, more insistent.

Outside, a sudden downpour came without warning. The girl looked out at the misty street. Her adorable face was scrunched into a worried frown. "Oh no," she muttered. "I got so busy talking with you, Miss. "I almost forgot it's my dad's marking ceremony today!" She looked around almost anxiously. Suddenly, her nose twitched a little. Her amber eyes fixed on the doorway. "That scent. Could it be Dad? "Did he come to catch me?"

Something she had not felt in this bedroom, in this marriage, in this life for longer than she could remember. Quiet. Not the quiet of suppression. Not the quiet of swallowing something down and telling yourself it was fine. The quiet of having finally said the thing. Of having put the truth outside of herself where it existed independently, where it could not be taken back or minimised or explained away. Where it simply was. She lay in that quiet and breathed.

Somewhere the night was going on as nights do, indifferent and continuous and entirely unbothered by the small

Silence has a sound when you’ve been hunted. It isn’t peace. It’s the absence of footsteps you were bracing for. It’s the part of your brain that keeps leaning toward the door anyway, waiting for the next impact. It’s the quiet that makes you hold your breath without noticing.

"Remember our special game? The quiet game we play sometimes?" Ollie's crying stuttered to a stop, though tears still tracked down his cheeks. Even half-asleep, he understood the code. The quiet game was what we called it when we needed to hide, when Samuel's friends got too loud or too violent, when we needed to be invisible until the danger passed. "The game where we're mice?" he whispered, his voice barely audible.

"Why are they so quiet? Did you make the room soundproof or something?" "I didn't." Quinn straightened slightly, indignant. "I only redecorated it."

My trembling finger gently pressed against his lips, the tears on my cheeks glistening like tiny diamonds, poised to unleash any suppressed sound that came near, much like saltwater yearning for release. With a subtle shake of my head, I implored him to cease his words. I settled into the stillness, a vigilant listener awaiting even the faintest whisper of noise.

"I mean, it's fine," Zin responded. "But I don't think it's usual that you can't hear any evil thoughts at all." "I can hear them," Derrick tried to explain. "But it's quiet, almost silent.
