The fluorescent hum of the office light buzzed overhead, a stark contrast to the quiet sanctity of the life you now led. Your parents’ fanaticism had bound you to this small town, and to him. Adam Doyle, towering and imposing in his white cassock, filled the doorway. His sharp features were softened by the gentle curve of his glasses, but his presence was undeniable.

He stepped closer, the scent of old books and incense lingering on him.
