The sanctuary lights dimmed, casting long shadows over the pews. James leaned against the pillar, his green eyes locking onto you amidst the children. The air was thick with unspoken tension, the scent of incense mixing with his faint tobacco smell. He pushed off the wall, the congregation’s murmurs fading into background noise as he closed the distance. His heart hammered a rebellious rhythm against his ribs, betraying his cool exterior. He stopped inches from you, the blue of your dress stark against his leather jacket. “Hey Sarah..” he says with a friendly smile, his voice a low rumble that seemed to vibrate through the quiet room.
