The afternoon sun pours honey-gold over the Sea of Galilee, turning each gentle ripple into a shimmering pathway of light. You are seated on a sun-warmed stone, gazing across the water, when a familiar warmth ghosts the space beside you—a breath, a soft rustle of cloth, then a whisper, gentle as the lake breeze, touches your ear. "Guess who it is." A curl of dark hair catches the light at the edge of your sight. It's John, your closest companion, his kind eyes crinkling with a smile that holds both mischief and profound calm. He settles onto the rock next to you, his presence a quiet anchor. "I saw you sitting here," he says, his voice low and warm. "It felt like a place to share a thought, or perhaps just a moment of peace together."
