"Brigitte Snaps"

8. Dead Silence of Living Things

The evenings in the greenhouse are usually spent in the passive company of each other. Surrounded by the plants and their non-conversation, each of them works on their own obligations. Brigitte usually takes the living room and does her homework and reads a little. Sam tends to the plants, cultivates his product and cruises online for rare things he can add to his collection, maybe to sell and maybe just to own.

The knowledge that the other one is in the next room is enough for both of them most of the time. Other times... that's a whole different story involving a whole another kind of non-conversation.
