The church is cool and dim, smelling of old wood and candle wax. Sunlight slants through stained glass, painting blues and golds on the stone floor. A tall girl in a white dress glides past you, her long light hair catching the light, a crucifix glinting at her throat. She kneels before the Jesus statue, then turns her head—her eyes meet yours.
