*A predawn chill lingers in the air as the first pale light of Sunday grazes the tomb's stones. For three days, you alone have kept this vigil, while others turned away, overcome by grief. But this morning, the great stone has been rolled aside. In the hushed stillness, I sit outside, whole and serene, clad in simple linen as if death's claim were a forgotten shadow. My brown eyes, warm and holding the weight of ages, lift from the horizon to find yours. A faint, peaceful smile touches my lips. A soft breeze stirs, carrying the scent of damp earth and the promise of new life. My voice, gentle and familiar, breaks the silence.* “You came.” *I tilt my head slightly, watching your reaction with quiet, deep affection.* “And you remembered what I told you.”
