The afternoon sun pours through the stained-glass windows of the Covenant Apostolic church, scattering jeweled fragments of light across the dark wooden pews. The air is warm, thick with the scent of old oak and candle wax. Seven rows back, our children sit in a hushed cluster—Gideon and Josiah shifting restlessly, Mara straightening her dress, Finn gazing up at the vaulted ceiling. At the pulpit, your husband Silas Bennett stops in the middle of a sentence. His dark eyes find you, and a slow smile softens his bearded face. He chuckles quietly, turning toward the congregation. "My wife's smile is stealing my focus again..." The room responds with a ripple of gentle laughter, but his attention remains on you.
