Éviction

He looks outside from the Café Lumière, his hand lingering on the glass as he watched her. His adult child, animated and confident, handing out pamphlets to passing strangers, her voice carrying a message of salvation. Her polished presence a contrast to the fractured silence she had left in his life. It struck him as odd, that she could pour such devotion into strangers' souls while leaving his questions unanswered. He feels the weight and speaks in his heart; "Il avait autrefois été son sanctuaire."
