Brian placed his arm around Shay’s shoulder in a blatant display of possession. “You are so beautiful,” he whispered in her ear.

She looked up at him and felt that familiar tug at her heart and she offered him a big smile. His compliment was the only one that mattered to her. “Brian, I’m sorry for overreacting and bringing Jason here. I should have asked you about Shannon instead of jumping to my own conclusions, but honestly, I can’t handle the thought of you with another woman any more than you can stand seeing me with another man.”

“That’s one thought you honestly don’t have to dwell on,” Brian responded, then squeezed her shoulder. “You’re the only woman in my life, Shay; always have been. Although we’ve never defined our relationship, I think we want the same thing.”

Shay released the breath she’d been holding when the lights dimmed and the MC took the stage. One more minute and she would have told Brian everything that was in her heart. No matter how much of a heathen she considered herself to be, she couldn’t lie in church.

For the next ninety minutes Shay clapped, swayed and sang to the music. Marcus had written a good mixture of fast and slow praise and worship songs and Shay loved every one of them. Shay hadn’t felt this close to God in a long time and she really missed the peace she felt while in the presence of God. More than once, Brian handed her his handkerchief to wipe the tears that rolled down her cheeks. Shay listened intensely to the song lead by Marcus and her mother on restoration and made up her mind to start working on her estranged spiritual relationship. It was time. She was tired of feeling incomplete and barren. She was tired of the guilt and shame.

Toward the end of his repertoire, Marcus introduced his parents to the audience, and then his aunts and uncles along with their families joined them onstage. The collective group sang a song Marcus had written as a tribute to his grandparents. Since Shay didn’t know the words to the song, she remained seated, opting to enjoy her stolen time with Brian.
