The silence stretched, and finally the other woman went on.

Everyone looked at me, and the silence stretched, because I had nothing to say.

The silence stretched all the way to the stars and back.

I do not know what to say to this, so the silence stretches long.

Dead silence stretched in the stone room for a long moment.

As the silence stretched between them, he knew she was thinking through his actions.

She tried to watch the Atlantic, but the silence stretched on.

The silence stretched between them, until finally he broke it.

The longer the silence stretched, the more charged the room became.

Neither did the women, and the silence immediately stretched long.
