Summary
Helena does not kneel. Not before Kier, not before men, not before anything outside herself.
And yet—
The kneeling rail is unyielding beneath her knees, the chill of the polished wood seeping through her stockings. It feels wrong to be here, but not in the way it should. It does not feel blasphemous. It does not feel shameful.
It feels exhilarating.
(Or: Helena Eagan has never known desire—that is, until she steps into Father Mark Scout’s chapel.)
