English term or phrase: that it was almost sound
It was with a feeling of distant schock that I felt him wrench away, the colder air of the room swirling between us ehere had been only moits warmth before. At the same moment, the light from the window suddenly intensified, like a flodlight had gone on behind it. It drowned the room in a color so rich, so loud, that it was almost sound.

Mi propuesta:
Era con un sentimiento de conmoción distante que le sentí torcerse, el aire más frío de la habitación se arremolinaba entre nosotros donde solo había habido calor húmedo antes. En el mismo momento, la luz de la ventana se intensificó de repente, como un reflector detrás de ella. Ahogó la habitación con un color tan intenso que casi era sonoro.
