You see them everywhere. The guy sitting silently in the nook of a party, a quiet island in a sea of chatter. The husband who, when asked, “What’s wrong?” simply replies, “Nothing,” in a tone that honestly means everything. The father whose love is expressed via actions—fixing a bicycle, tightening a free screw, a hand on the shoulder—however, not often through words. They aren't necessarily unhappy, nor are they usually irritated. They are genuinely… quiet.
