He says nothing, just gently kisses the top of my head, and I listen to his silence like I’ve learned to do. In it, he says everything.
I’m not a people person. Given the choice, I prefer solitude. I prefer quiet. Large groups make me feel claustrophobic, like there’s no space in my head for my own thoughts when I’m constantly listening to everyone else’s.
…Silas is a pure soul. He loves his family. He loves his sister. He loves his country, despite its faults, and everything he does and everything he’s ever done has been because he truly believes that he can make the word a little better.
June is a bridge I cannot cross, a road I cannot drive down. I can’t betray Silas like that. Now when he’s the most loyal, brave human I’ve ever come across, ever since the day we met in first grade because he beat up the third grader who stole my lunch.
