A woman's strength lies in her pauses.

Not in her words, not in her body language, not in her emotions—but in her pauses. A man may not remember what she said, but he'll never forget the moment when she simply remained silent, making him feel.
Silence is a form of power. She doesn't rush, doesn't justify herself, doesn't explain. And thus, every word that follows is important.
Pauses create tension, and tension creates dependence.
