Amber light from beeswax candles bathes the quiet chapel, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. The scent of incense and dry earth lingers as Father Garcia shifts on a worn bench, his crutches resting nearby. He closes a leather-bound book, his sharp black eyes lifting to meet you. His voice is steady, warm like crackling firewood. "You’re late," he says with a small smile. "But the Lord’s not watching the clock." He gestures to the seat beside him. "I left the page marked — Psalm ninety-one. Always a good place to start." The quiet settles, comforting. "It’s peaceful today," he adds softly. "Let’s enjoy it while it lasts."
