Talia didn’t come to work.

Jonas noticed first.

He waited at booth three.

Then asked the waitress what happened.

“She quit. Just like that,” the girl shrugged. “Left a note for the manager. Said nothing personal, just needed to go.”

Jonas sat frozen.

The next morning, he went to her building.

Mrs. Kaine was already outside, sitting on the steps.

“She’s gone, isn’t she?” he asked.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurXlwwKftu

The woman nodded, eyes wet.

“She left something for you.”

She handed him an envelope.

Inside was a single page. Talia’s handwriting was neat, but faint.

You’ll never know how much that meant.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdOjrcDrS6

I don’t know where I’m going. But I know I need to try.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aW6grd6ib

Thank you for seeing me when I forgot how to see myself.”*

Jonas sat down next to Mrs. Kaine.

Neither of them spoke for a long time.

The wind blew softly.

And somewhere out there, a woman named Talia was learning to breathe again.

This story is for anyone who ever thought they were invisible.

You aren’t.

Someone will notice the silence.
