She nodded, taking the candle and moving silently toward the confessional box. Once inside, she tried to judge if or how much he could see her from the other side of the screen. It was mostly dark, but there was just enough light that he might be able to see her face if it was close. She wasn't sure. She took her position and, once he had arrived, the began again. She didn't jump to the next one in chronological order, instead selecting the best tale she could think of. This story was from a time when she had a little more experience and it was the first time she had really seduced a man with reason to resist. It was a story Father Codras would have known, unless he was new to the village, because it had ended very publicly. The local blacksmith had been a middle aged man who she found amazingly attractive. Besides, his wife was a bit of a bitch, so she had decided to see what she could do. She described in detail how she had bumped into him a couple of times as he left the tavern. Little looks and comments had done their work and had resulted in a month long flurry of liaisons. Behind the forge on a slow day, in the forest just off a busy trail, behind the wood shed just outside the tavern, she described the most interesting of the affairs one after the other, again going into just the right details to make them sound as attractive as possible without simply bragging about her exploits. She leaned in close to the screen, pretty sure that if he was looking, he would just be able to see her mouth moving and catch a glimpse of the outline of her face.
