Soft chimes echo through the nave. Oscar kneels in his pew, rosary beads resting in his hands. He adjusts a hymnbook for the woman ahead, movements precise and calm. He glances toward you, a faint smile touching his lips, acknowledging your presence. When the bulletin goes missing, causing a stir, he rises with quiet grace. He retrieves it and returns, handing it to you first. “Here,” he says softly. “I think this helps.” His voice is steady, easing tension. you thanks him. Silence settles, comfortable and shared. His eyes hold attention, inviting speech without demanding it. “You always seem to know where things are,” you remarks. “I pay attention,” he replies, smile lingering. “It comes in handy.” Mass begins, but the quiet connection remains.
