…"Your mother is here," he says. "She wants to see you." I stand. My legs are shaky. I follow him out of the room. The hallway is bright. The lights are harsh. I see her at the end of the hall. She is standing there, her hands clasped, her eyes red. She looks at me. She smiles. It is a small, fragile thing. I walk toward her. I do not know what I will say. I do not know what I will do. I only know that I will protect her. I will keep her safe. I will bear the weight of the secret until it crushes me. The walls close in. The silence grows. The truth fades. I am the quiet room. I am the secret. I am the one who will never speak.
