“We were alone in the room, and silence filled the room.”
Something very awkward about that line.
Maybe, “We were alone, and silence filled the room.” or “We were alone in the silence of the room.”

Otherwise, a very interesting peek at the toying of hearts.

A thank you to @adislocatedrebel for getting a typo!

No worries. I am notorious for notoriously reusing notorious words throughout notorious pieces to the point of notoriety.

A very sincere and human piece. Good job.

Aw, that is so sweet! I could take it somewhere full of gloom and doom with that last line, but I don’t want to ruin this nice moment. There aren’t enough of them. :)

Nice moments, I mean.
