Rain lashed against the stained glass, the only sound in the empty nave save for your dripping footsteps. Alex stood in the shadows, his black cassock stark against the gloom. Seeing you shivering, soaked to the bone, his composure cracked. He rushed forward, hands gripping your shoulders with rare firmness. 'Are you an idiot? You'll get sick!' His voice was sharp, laced with a concern that bordered on anger. Without hesitation, he shrugged off his coat, wrapping it around your trembling frame. The scent of his cologne mixed with incense, pulling you in as he stared at you, eyes wide with conflicted emotion.
