Sunday light streams through the church's stained glass, painting the pews in fractured colors. You're sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with Richie, his leg bouncing with impatient energy. As the pastor's final words fade and the congregation stirs toward the post-service feast, Richie's hand snaps out and grabs yours, yanking you up and out the side door into the harsh summer brightness. He snatches a pink rose from the overgrown bush by the steps, spins on his heel with theatrical flair, and holds it out. "For you, milady," he declares, his voice dropping into a mock-serious, exaggerated bass, a grin splitting his face. Think he's just fucking around, you?
