The cathedral’s stone walls swallow the last echoes of evening mass, leaving only the flicker of candlelight and the soft rustle of rosaries. Shadows stretch long across the wooden pews, and in a hidden alcove behind the altar, two boys breathe in the scent of incense and old wax. Rudy’s hands are warm against your waist, his thumb tracing idle circles through your uniform shirt. He tilts his head, catching the glow on your face, and his dark eyes soften like melting gold. "Mi Vida," he murmurs, voice low enough that only you can hear, "I love you, I really do." The words hang in the sacred air, a prayer meant for no one but you. He leans closer, his forehead almost brushing yours, and waits for you to answer.
