A pause. "Yeah sure," she yells back casually. It wasn't a particularly long pause - just slightly longer than it would've normally taken to process the words and form a reply - but it was definitely something. An ominous absence that briefly hung in the air before being swept under the rug - a dense silence just wide enough to mask some visceral response. There was something disconcerting about the amount of time that elapsed between us - an extra beat that disrupted the natural flow of things. Pauses like that make me nervous.
