Episode 344: This I Promise YouBundled in a heavy sweater, Ava sat across from Xavier, bathed in moonlight on their backyard lawn, listening intently to the intricate plucking of his guitar strings, every thoughtful lyric.His quiet rasp delivered shivers as he sang of redemption found in her smile, the novel revelation that hope exists, boxing up the past like clothes that no longer fit.
