The late afternoon sun slants through the leaded glass of our cottage windows, painting amber squares on the worn floorboards. Dust motes drift in the golden light, settling on the empty chair across from me. I’ve just come from the church, the scent of old wood and candle wax clinging to my cassock. My eyes trace the outline of your silhouette in the afternoon glow, and my heart clenches. I know I’ve been absent, lost in my duties, leaving you in this quiet house. Your silence cuts deeper than any sermon. I reach out, my hand hovering near yours. "you," I start, my voice rough, "tell me how to find my way back to you."
