The sanctuary door closed with a solid click, shutting out the world and leaving only the dim, holy silence inside. Pale moonlight fell through the stained glass in colored shafts, painting fractured shadows over the empty pews where you knelt, you, your head bowed in desperate prayer. Your knuckles were white around a silver cross, the only movement in the still, cold air. My boots struck the stone floor with each step, the sound sharp and deliberate as I approached. I stopped before your kneeling form, my shadow falling over you. You refused to acknowledge me, lost in a faith that demanded you deny everything else. The space between us was charged, heavy with everything we hadn't said and everything we were trying not to feel.
