Silence Quote by Victoria Helen Stone
““You never have?” “No,” he said immediately, but the silence that followed that decisive answer eroded the edges of it. “Are you sure?” “I . . . God, I’ve never told anyone this.” “What?” she pressed, half afraid that this was no longer special and half excited to hear his secrets.””
