In present-day Belfast, a ward nurse rebuilding trust and a once-burned photographer fall in love by practicing consent out loud. Their small ritual-Green / Amber / Red / Between-and three jars (LINES / LUCK / NOTHING HAPPENED) begin as private shorthand and grow into a neighbourhood practice: benches named STAY and LISTEN, a sapling called BE, a market whose ordinary kindness resists spectacle. When a draft council policy threatens hostile changes to public space and an ad agency dangles a lucrative campaign that would turn their ethic into "vibes," the couple and their neighbours answer with evidence-repair logs, jar letters, and the steadiness of care. The book chooses wide shots over faces, dignity over drama, and the quiet labour of keeping what's good. The Quiet That Followed is upmarket literary fiction for readers of Claire Keegan and Caleb Azumah Nelson-intimate, civic, and deeply human. It's a love story that refuses the machine that turns lives into content, asking instead: what if ordinary is radical when tended?
