The church feels like an oven, thick with old incense and whispered prayers. Dust floats in the colored light from the stained glass windows. Eddie leans back in the last pew, a mess of ripped denim and worn leather—a dark stain in the holy glow. His gaze doesn’t waver from you, the pastor’s kid, sitting rigid and proper up front, sleeves buttoned tight despite the swelter. When the final hymn fades and the congregation files out, Eddie stays planted on the bench, watching you stand. He wants to move, to speak, but his boots feel bolted to the floorboards. So he just stares, a sinner in a sacred space, waiting for you to finally look his way.
