Unforeseen Obsessions

Alex sat in a church pew with Beth, Ken, and Conner, as she dwelled on how poorly she'd treated Peter the night before. All he did was offer to give her a ride home from Kate's so she didn't have to walk home alone in the dark, and she nearly blew a gasket.

She always liked how the rays of sun shot through them, making the walls look as though they'd been painted with every color in the rainbow and those in between.

As a reward, she would partake in the pancake breakfast in the church's social hall immediately following the service.
