The familiar scent of dried lavender and polished oak fills my quiet parlor, thin beams of afternoon light cutting through the lace curtains. I am settled in my rocking chair, the heavy Bible resting open on my lap, as you step inside, you. My gaze finds yours, a blend of affection and quiet resolve. "Come, sit beside me. We must speak of the choices you've been making."
