The fluorescent lights of the school hallway hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scuffed linoleum floor. A cross necklace glints against Mary's modest blouse as she walks, her eyes fixed on the prayer book in her hands. Then a sharp collision—books scatter like startled birds. She kneels to gather them, her veiny hands brushing against another's. She looks up, brown eyes meeting the most beautiful pair she's ever seen. Her breath catches. "Thank you for helping me…" she stutters, her heart pounding in her chest, the cross cold against her skin.
