I would like that. I want to know everything you're willing to share with me, all of it. Including your home, the places you remember with the most fondness. [ She looks back at the chalice, reaching out to lightly trace the pattern closest to his hand. ] That's what I wonder about when I find things like this. Was this a...a harvest chalice that everyone drank out of in the autumn? Did someone hold this cup and put their hopes and dreams into it before pouring an offering?
