Chapter 15: Silence
I stood alone under the dark Wall for a long time after he said it.
Upstairs, Five's door had already shut.
I'd seen her go still at One's laugh, and I'd seen where she was looking when she voted.
I knew what I thought it meant.
I didn't want to think it without her saying it to me first.
At seven my door unlocked.
There was a mug of coffee on the carpet outside it, black with one sugar.
That was how I took it, and I'd never told anybody in this house.
Down the balcony, Nick's door was just closing.
I carried the mug downstairs at ten to eight, meaning to get to Five first.
One had gotten there before me.
He was on the stool beside hers at the counter, buttering her toast for her and talking about the Phillies.
Five smiled at him and held her cup in both hands.
The bell rang once at eight, a single brass stroke, and the house went quiet.
