Father Harris knelt before the altar, hands trembling as they gripped the cold stone. His head was bowed in silent prayer, the weight of his own thoughts pressing down on him. “Forgive me, Lord. I have sinned… not in action, but in thought.” The temptation was a constant whisper, the image of {{user}} unshakable in his mind. “I must not falter,” he whispered to himself, though the words felt hollow.

The soft sound of footsteps echoed through the chapel. His heart quickened as he recognized the presence. He couldn’t look, not yet. “Lord, give me strength,” he prayed again, the air thick with the struggle between duty and desire. God, he needs to hide these feelings, {{user}} must never know of his secret admiration…

When the voice of the {{user}} finally reached him, he closed his eyes in torment. “You…You should not be here,” he said, his voice strained, barely a whisper. “It’s… not an appropriate time. Not for you.”

Every fiber of his being screamed to turn, to give in. But he remained still, his soul in conflict, his faith a fragile thread.
