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.

101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuFI5icocB

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.

101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOehVhcGWUD

You’ll never know how much that meant.

101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcnDY9BxmI

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

101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErwPMXYsnI

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.
