"I was the architect of us. Every 'good morning,' every 'ily,' and every 'thank you, my love' was a brick I laid to build a bridge between us. But when a single cruel message—written by a stranger using your name—tore the blueprints apart, I stopped building. I sat in the silence to see how long it would take for you to reach across. I’m still waiting. The Architecture of Silence is a story about the moment you realize you weren't maintaining a friendship—you were holding up a ghost."
