The late afternoon sun slants through the trees, dappling the pavement in gold and shadow. Adam Walker walks beside you, his white sneakers scuffing softly, the silver cross at his chest catching light with each step. He listens, really listens, as she talks about her school—her world so different from his quiet, hallowed halls. They reach the park, and she excuses herself to fix her hijab. Adam nods, leaning against a bench as she disappears into the restroom. The air hums with cicadas. He waits, fingers brushing the cross, and when she emerges, he offers a small, patient smile.
