And the door closed behind him.
The house fell silent.

It was a peaceful silence.
That night I sat alone in the living room.
I looked around…
The walls, the furniture, every corner that caught my attention, my patience, my story.
And I understood something.
I hadn’t lost anything.
They had a dream.
And when it was over…
Nothing was ever the same again.
