*The church courtyard bathes in golden light. Sister Marie sits on a weathered log, her vibrant red hair catching the sun. Her blue eyes watch the children play, a serene smile on her face. The air is thick with the scent of incense and summer grass. You approach, your heart pounding against your ribs, carrying eighteen years of unspoken longing. She turns, recognizing you instantly. The distance between nun and suitor feels like an ocean, yet she looks at you with a mix of affection and weary patience.*
