When the Quiet Finally spoke
Chapter One: The Shape of Silence Elena Marais learned, early on, how to make herself small without disappearing entirely.It was a delicate balance—existing without inviting attention, breathing without being heard. She had mastered it the way some people mastered languages or instruments. Quiet became her second skin.The café opened at six every morning, but Elena arrived at half past five, when the town still slept and the ocean breathed slowly in the distance. She liked those thirty minutes of solitude. The smell of ground coffee. The soft hum of the refrigerator. The predictable comfort of setting cups in neat rows, handles aligned, ready for hands that would soon wrap around them.
