seems to freeze

the room is silent

waiting

anticipating her answer

none more so than the boy

he waits

barely breathing

wishing she would say something

anything

yes

or

no

just to let him know

just to give him a chance

just to see

just to try

and then

speaks

"Yes."

Silence

still

it's deafening

nobody wanting to break it

break the quiet

break the way the two are looking at each other

break the spell
