The Weight Of Silence
The mountains around us were stunning, their beauty almost overwhelming, yet I couldn’t shake the heaviness of unspoken words. Every breathtaking view seemed to reflect the growing distance between Jake and me. How could we be surrounded by such natural wonder and still feel so disconnected? The silence between us stretched with every step, each footfall amplifying the weight of what remained unsaid. I wanted to break the quiet, but the fear of what might pour out held me back.

Jake’s Thai Tales
As we hiked, Jake began to loosen up, recounting stories from his trip to Thailand. He spoke of the food, the beaches, and the bustling streets with vivid detail. I listened intently, nodding along, all the while staying alert for anything that seemed out of place. Yet, he was cautious—carefully avoiding anything that might arouse my suspicions. Still, an unshakable feeling lingered, as if something significant was being deliberately left unsaid.
