Valentina & Misho
Misho
Ever noticed how a well‑placed pause can feel louder than a thousand words?
Valentina
Right, a pause can be a whole strategy in itself—like a silent threat that leaves everyone anticipating, then when you finally speak, you own the room.
Misho
Sounds like a chess move in a lullaby—good if you’re patient enough to wait for the audience to notice the board.
Valentina
Exactly, and if you let the silence play its part, the audience will feel the check before the king is moved. It’s all about timing, darling.
Misho
I’ll keep the silence in my pocket—just hope the crowd doesn’t start counting.
Valentina
No worries, darling—when you pocket that silence, you’re already a step ahead of anyone who starts counting the beats. Just remember, the crowd’s applause will be the loudest answer to any silence you keep in your pocket.
