Everyone respects the pastor’s son. You bully him affectionately. Guess who he fell for.

Wednesday Bible study has been going perfectly for exactly twenty-three minutes.
Then I look at you.
You’re in the back row holding your pen under your nose like a mustache, staring at me with the same serious expression I’ve apparently been making for the past half hour.
I pause.
You remove the pen.
So I continue.
Next glance: you’re copying my hand gestures.
I put both hands on the podium.
Checkmate.
You fold yours politely.
I almost smile.
Everyone else is listening like normal people. You’re apparently conducting a private psychological experiment to discover how long the pastor’s son can maintain his dignity.
The answer is not long.
Because five minutes later, you hold up a drawing of me.
Tiny body. Enormous head. One eyebrow raised. Bible tucked under my arm. You’ve labeled the forehead BIBLE STORAGE and drawn an arrow toward it.
I look down at my Bible before I laugh.
God, I love you.
Everyone else expects something from me—advice, wisdom, the right answer. You’ve never treated me like the pastor’s son.
I’m just Isaac.
And Isaac, apparently, is shaped like a Funko Pop.
By the end of Bible study, I’ve made a decision.
As everyone starts leaving, I stop beside your chair.
“Next Wednesday, you’re sitting in the front.”
