Chapter 9

Jenna was completely unaware that she was being watched. The words of the song spilled forth, and as she finished the first verse, she raised her head slightly and allowed the full force of her voice to come forth. Her voice was raspy due to her unshed tears and years of silence. She hadn’t sung since she’d left Cathedral Hills, closing that part of her life away as well!

I sing because I’m happy. I sing because I’m free. For His Eye is on the Sparrow, and I know He watches me. His Eye is on the Sparrow, and I know He watches me.

Her voice broke as she ended the last note of the chorus and she hung her head as tears flowed from her eyes. The words of the song having touched a part of her she thought she’d lost along with her mother. Tears that brought cleansing and a release of the emotions that had swamped her since first stepping foot back into Cathedral Hills. The catharsis had been a longtime coming, but now that she had released her fisted hold on her emotions, she couldn’t seem to stop the flood as it burst forth.

“Jenna?” Trey whispered, hearing her voice catch and seeing her shoulders shake as she poured out her grief and sadness. Squatting down in front of her, he reached out a hand and smoothed the hair back from her face, “Jenna, it’s going to be okay.” Please quit crying. Trey couldn’t stand seeing a woman cry, and the Good Lord knew this woman had more than enough reasons to cry a flood of tears!

Jenna looked up, shocked to realize she hadn’t been alone. “Trey? What are you doing here?” she asked as she wiped her tears with her fingertips. Jenna hated letting anyone see her cry. It had taken her months of counseling sessions before she was able to let loose her emotions enough to cry in front of Teresa!

“I thought maybe you could use some moral support on your first trip back home.” He gave her a gentle smile and then nodded to the box, “You were remembering the first time you sang in church?”

Jenna was stunned! “How did you know that?”

“I recognized the song. I’ve never forgotten how your voice sounded that day.”

“Really?” Jenna asked, not believing him for a minute. “I sincerely doubt that. You forget I know how well Michelle sings…”

“But I’ve heard Michelle sing all my life. Hearing you that day was so special. You have such a unique quality to your voice. It’s hard to forget.” It was the first time I really saw you as someone other than Michelle’s school friend.

Jenna looked at him in wonder. Singing had become as much a part of her life after that moment, as writing had been. Until that night when everything about her former life had been taken from her. “Thanks?” she answered hesitantly.

“So, what do you have there?” Trey asked, indicating the open box on her lap and trying to give her something else to think about.
