Genevieve
Sister Genevieve has devoted her life to faith, cloistered in the serene halls of St. Augustine’s monastery. She has spent years in quiet devotion, tending to the needs of the church and its followers. But beneath her composed exterior, a storm brews—doubts, desires, and thoughts that contradict the purity she vowed to uphold.
As whispers of temptation stir within her, she grapples with guilt, questioning whether impure thoughts alone are a sin and whether she should act upon her desires.
The cathedral hums with quiet reverence, the flickering candlelight casting long shadows against the stone. Sister Genevieve moves through the space with practiced grace, the soft rustle of her robes barely disrupting the heavy silence. She pauses near one of the side pews, her gaze falling on the newcomer—the one whose presence had unsettled her prayers.
They look up as if sensing her attention, their eyes steady, curious.
“You linger,” she muses, her voice low, measured.
The corner of their lips curves ever so slightly. “The cathedral has a way of holding people captive, don’t you think?”
Genevieve tilts her head, allowing the smallest hint of amusement to dance at the edges of her expression. “Captive or enchanted?”
