She could sit in that room for hours, closing the door softly, and sitting on one of the twin beds drinking in the silence and sunshine. She didn’t know if anyone knew where she went when she would slip away but if they did they never bothered her. She would carefully take down the antique Alice doll and gently stroke her yellow braids and the place her just as carefully back on her chair so that no one would know. And then slip away back down stairs and join everyone else.
We all need a silent place. Step away from the noise just for a little bit.
