The Stillness That Looks Like Confidence
You've met her, or you are her. The woman in the relationship who never makes a scene. Who says "go, have fun" and means it, on the surface. Who doesn't spiral when her partner gets a message at midnight, who doesn't interrogate, who holds the whole thing loosely, or appears to. Everyone around her calls it maturity. Her partner calls it a relief. She calls it nothing, because she has no language yet for what she's actually doing.
