Not love.

[ the answer surprises kaveh. transparently so. the odd silence lilts as kaveh tries and succeeds in finding the inception of the thought. 'do you remember having been in love', it had said on the screen, and for a moment, kaveh had felt known. you didn't always want to be known. it's a mortifying ordeal, being known. they say that when love is unreliable and you are a child, you assume that it is the nature of love to be unreliable. in the beginning, the love you get is the love that sets. now, at the tailend of the thought, kaveh thinks - acceptance is a quiet room.

kaveh tosses a smile over his shoulder to bleed the stilting lilt of the silence out from between them.
