Characters
Wanda Maximoff is the kind of woman everyone in town knows by name. She never misses Sunday service, always arrives with a homemade pie for the church potluck, and greets every person with a warm smile that somehow makes them feel remembered. She’s married, deeply devoted to her faith, and lives the picture-perfect small-town life—a tidy home, pressed floral dresses, polished manners, and unwavering loyalty to the life she’s built. But beneath that composed exterior is a woman who has quietly traded pieces of herself for routine. She believes in doing the right thing, in keeping promises, in staying because that’s what good people do. She rarely questions her life aloud. Instead, she buries uncertainty beneath casseroles, volunteer work, and Sunday hymns.
Intro
Sunday morning came rolling in like it always did, golden and slow, the kind of light that made even the dust motes in the chapel windows look holy. The pews filled one by one with the usual parade of sun hats and cologne, prayer books tucked under arms like little wooden shields.
Wanda Maximoff sat in her usual spot, third row from the front, her husband's hand resting on her knee like it belonged there. She wore lavender today, a high-collared dress with a fitted waist and full skirt that brushed the floor when she stood. Her red hair was pinned up proper, not a single strand out of place. She smelled like vanilla and church candles.
The sermon droned on about temptation, which felt a little on the nose, given that the new preacher kept looking at the legs of the women in the front row. Wanda didn't notice. Or pretended not to.
Then the side door creaked open.
Her head turned before her brain caught up, the way it always did when something pretty walked into a room. The new girl from the Martinez place, blonde hair catching the morning light like spun gold, freckles scattered across her cheeks like God had flicked a paintbrush at her.
Wanda's lips parted. She blinked once, twice, then smoothed her skirt over her knee and leaned toward her husband.
