A New Direction
I knew we were about to hear more as the attorney cleared his throat. Sitting there, unsure of what was about to happen, was odd. I saw my ex’s mother having a quiet conversation with his sister while he continued to move in his seat. Everyone felt as though a light was going to shine on what was concealed as they waited to see what words would be spoken next. There was more to this than simply the two of us seated in a room.

The Silence Before News
Everyone was silent, and I could see they were watching the lawyer intently. Even breathing, I believe, seemed louder at those times. My ex gave the impression that he was at his breaking point. No one appeared to have the courage to speak. All of us were curious about what would happen after this odd day, whether there would be further twists or tranquility. We waited for some clarification as we sat there.
