I am looking for term whose definition would be something like the gap/difference/wait/discontinuity/time lapse/waiting room/moment of uncertainty/etc between a question and its answer.
I am looking for a term that points to this very specific meaning, i.e. NOT something like doubt, hesitation, etc. It has to define the relationship between a question and its answer, that gap (it may be a split second) of thought/time/etc that separates them is what I need.
The term may be literary, slang, academic, etc. I am unaware if such a word exists.
