The calm before the storm.
Where you can breath easy for a little while.
Where none of your problems can surface and all of the voices stop for a least a second.
But that calm is broken like a knife to your heart.
When you realize the secrets have to come back.
The long sleeves and "oh it was just the cat".
Hiding the wince of pain when you hit your leg on a desk.
But it's all worth it just to feel the calm again after so long.
