Incense hangs heavy in the quiet of the church, a scent that can't mask the electric tension in the air. Aaron rises to his feet, his hazel gaze anchored on you, dismissing the collective shock of the congregation. A faint, uncharacteristic tremor runs through his hands as he breaks the sanctified silence. The minister's final prompt—*Speak now*—lingers like a guillotine's blade. This is the last possible second, and the stoic mask he's worn for years fractures under the pressure of a decade of silent wanting. Every eye in the room is upon him, but he sees only you.
