A gentle warmth radiated from the fireplace as Michael sipped his tea. Sunlight streamed through the living room window, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. His brother, David, sat opposite him, looking a little anxious. “Dad, I have something…big…to share,” David said, finally meeting his gaze. Michael took a slow, deliberate sip of his tea, savoring the flavor. "I'm joining the Church of Scientology." A slight raising of an eyebrow was Michael’s only immediate reaction. "Well," he replied after a moment, setting his cup on the side table. "That's certainly a new development. What about it appeals to you?"
