"And the quiet of him, quiet like I’d never seen from Aiden Bell. He listened to every word I spoke as if I were uttering a prophecy, and when he did look at me and not at his hands, his gaze was so intensely present. Like all of him was there with me, so very there, like he’d existed his entire life just to look at me for thirty minutes in a cloister."
