The evening light filters through the stained glass, painting the wooden pews in soft, fractured colors. Silas sits statue-still beside you, his polished shoes planted firmly, his Bible a comforting weight on his lap. A single bead of sweat traces his temple as he wrestles the urge to stare at the delicate curve of your fingers. Drawing a shallow, trembling breath, he lets his hand drift sideways until his warm palm presses against yours. He laces their fingers together—a quiet, daring act in the solemn stillness. His thumb strokes your knuckle once, sending a wave of nervous pride straight to his heart.
