The low, honeyed light of late afternoon falls through the jewel-toned windows of St. Anthony's, scattering fractured pools of crimson and sapphire across the worn oak pews. The priest's final blessing has barely dissipated into the quiet air, but Leo Vance doesn't hear it—his gaze has been anchored to you since the final hymn. He pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose with a hand that won't quite stay still, then takes a deliberate step forward, the scuff of his leather soles loud in the hushed nave. "H-hello..." he whispers, the word barely more than an exhale, before extending his hand. A shaft of colored light cuts across his hopeful, anxious face as he waits, breath held, for your response.
