Chapter 2 - Just Fall
Danielle's POV
My sister gives me a look and says, "What's wrong, Danielle?"
She didn't know I saw him, but I didn't want to tell her either. "Nothing.... I was just looking at my sparkly green shoes reflecting off the lights and on the seat in front of me! See?" She just laughs.
Then he takes the stage. I can't believe it.... Joey Stamper is at my church!!!! He goes on stage and he begins to sing my favorite song... Never Alone. I sat there in total awe. As amazing as the song sounded online, it sounded infinitely better in person. I could really feel God here in our midst. I start to tear up a bit and my sister hugs me. She is the best sister ever. Joey looks directly at me and smiles. I smile back with those tears of joy...
He sings a few more worship songs, all the while, he's looking right at me. After he's done, the pastor thanks him and starts the sermon. My sister, who was sitting in the aisle seat, suddenly gets up and moves to the other side of me. "What are you doing, Reagan?" I whisper. She nudges me and points behind me. I turn and Joey's standing right there!!!!
"Hi. May I sit here?" Joey asks. Wow.. those eyes are even more intense up close.... I think I've forgotten how to breathe.
I finally manage to squeak, "Of... of course." I correct, trying to make my voice normal.
He laughs and I smile. He notices a "happy" tear... Possibly happy... But doesn't say anything. I am smiling the entire time trying to contain my excitement. I tried to concentrate on the sermon and only catch glimpses of it between my daydreaming. I do catch words like, "God's Plan", "He loves you", "Jeremiah 29:11", and other words like that.
When the sermon was over, I stand up accidentally bumping into Joey. "I am so sorry" I shriek, then sigh. "I'm so clumsy."
"You are fine. You don't have to be afraid of gravity, you can just fall into me." He laughs and winks at me.
"OH MY GOSH!" Joey smiles a huge smile at me... I think I just said that out loud....
