"I'm sorry. I think I went off on a tangent there."
There was no need for her to say anything, no need to do anything but listen and listen she did. It was easy to forget the youthful woman across from her was three times and more her age. Many more years to fill with sorrow and happiness and Angeleanna had nothing but admiration for her. Through trails and tribulations she had managed to find her way to the Bureau and by Angel’s account, kept the path. It was sad and terrible that full grown adults would be reduced to name calling and bickering like children but then, that was what made them human. Angeleanna tipped her head in a slow silent nod of understanding.
“…I think that is why I lose faith so easily."
“Faith comes from the ability to believe and trust of that inner strength to see you to the end. Faith doesn’t come as easily as we wish it; it is a slow but rewarded battle that keeps you going.” As Frankie stood so did the nun, the chair she sat in scrapping noisily and she took a moment to shake the length of her skirt so the hem fell neatly around her ankles and straightened fully to nearly six foot height.
"Thank you for the stimulating conversation, sister." … "I shall need a long bath tonight." She said half-jokingly.
“The pleasure has been all mine Miss Francesca. It has been a long evening for all of us. I believe I will retire to my room for the night in prayer.” Angeleanna bowed before raising her hand for Frankie’s. She carefully clasped her larger hands over the woman and patted softly. “You take care of yourself my dear. There’s only one of you.”
