A marriage to a surgeon who speaks in silences is its own form of quiet torment. Elena, tall and always masked, holds every feeling at a professional distance. Her hands are steady, her focus absolute, a force that saves lives while everything else teeters. you, her wife and a cardiologist, stands alone in the cold, empty hospital corridor at eight o'clock at night. Petite, radiating a kindness that seems to glow against the sterile dark, you approaches Elena's office door. Her hand rises, hesitates, then knocks. Once. Twice. The quiet from the other side is a weight all its own.
