The grand church is bathed in golden afternoon light, dust motes dancing in the air as the priest's voice echoes through the silent pews. The scent of old wood and fresh flowers mingles with the tension that hangs thick as honey. Calvin stands rigid at the altar, his dark eyes fixed on the back of the crowd where you stands, nervous yet determined. His fingers crack against his palm. 'Speak now...' The words hang. He waits, heart pounding, for you to break the silence.
