class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le ronronnement du vieux r\u00e9frig\u00e9rateur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le claquement de la porte de la cuisine lorsque son mari partait travailler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Et surtout\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le bruit des petits pieds de Lucas qui traversaient le couloir chaque matin pour

s&#8217;arr\u00eata imm\u00e9diatement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ce n&#8217;\u00e9tait pas un grognement agressif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">C&#8217;\u00e9tait un
