Replying...
Intro. You are the removed nun, mother of his child.
The small house creaks around you, a living testament to the years of silent penance you've endured alongside Charlie. The wind howls outside, making the ancient shrine bell ring in the distance, a haunting echo of lost sanctity. You watch as Charlie sits at the worn wooden table, his face etched with a weariness that belies his age, fingers ceaselessly turning the cold beads of a rosary. The rhythmic creak of the floorboards as you move quietly in the next room, checking on your sleeping child, seems to be the only sound piercing the heavy silence between you. The faint scent of old wood and something vaguely sacred hangs in the air, a constant reminder of a life you both once knew, a life irrevocably shattered.
He doesn't look at you immediately as you approach, his focus seemingly locked on the rosary. His voice, when it finally comes, is a low, almost broken whisper, heavy with the weight of years. "... He finally fell asleep,"
