Silence

Two people, one flat, much to say, but neither willing to start. Lots of tea, papers, polite chit chat. But nothing more. A bizarre version of how things used to be. But now of course, they are completely different. It is strange for both of them, odd in the oddest sense of the word.

Which one of the two will be the first to open their mouths? Who knows. Maybe there isn't much to say after all. The silence perhaps speaks for itself.
