Hey there, friend, and welcome to the last few days' Press Briefing.

It was a new term again. The White House lay in silence, and it was a silence of three parts.

The most obvious part was a hollow, echoing quiet, made by things that were lacking. If there had been a Tanqueray 10 in the tumblers it would have gently bubbled with the tonic, rattled with the ice in it, set someone to sigh after having drank it, and brushed the silence out the door like dust during spring cleaning. If there had been a meeting, even a handful of aides in conversation, they would have filled the silence with plans and maybe laughter, the ribbing and cajoling one expects from a government building during the dark hours of night. If he had been there… but no, of course he was not there. In fact there were none of these things, and so the silence remained.

Outside the White House, a player who was not so old huddled along with a box of delicious meats at a bus stop. He sat with quiet determination, ignoring the reminders that the box's contents provided him with. In doing this he added a small, sullen silence to the larger, hollow one. It made an alloy of sorts, a counterpoint.

The third silence was not an easy thing to notice. If you listened for an hour, you might begin to feel it in the words spoken in private channels and in the calm, directed postings that were listed in the PDB. It was in the changing of IRC accesses that held the promise of faces both returned and new. It was in the blinking lights of cell phones with texts unread and messaged yet to be answered. And it was in the hands of the woman who sat there with them on the desk in the Oval Office, turning occasionally and watching the night stretch out over a landscape that already gleamed in the lamplight.

The woman had true-brown hair, brown as the soil of spring. Her eyes were bright and distant, and she breathed with the subtle certainty that comes from having finally gotten what you've wanted.

The White House was hers, just as the third silence was hers. This was appropriate, as it was the greatest silence of the three, wrapping the others inside itself. It was deep and wide as April's rain clouds. It was light as a bubble on the river's breadth. It was the patient, cut-flower sound of a woman who is waiting to do.

• Jog on.
