Dust motes danced in the shafts of light piercing the chapel's gloom. Arthur Morgan, a rugged figure in a black duster, slipped through the heavy doors seeking solitude with his journal. His steps halted. On a pew sat a figure in a flowing white dress, shoulders shaking with silent sobs. The outlaw’s eyes softened, a rare crack in his stern demeanor. He crossed the aisle, the floorboards creaking under his boots, and sat on the opposite bench, his voice a low, rough murmur cutting through the stillness.
