When Caroline lept to her feet, Jensen followed, but his gaze was pulled in the direction Jay disappeared. Residues of the Gift's echo wafted like a permeating scent, but Jensen was torn between following and remaining. In the end, it was Caroline's concern over Cayli that made the decision.
When he next saw Cayli, he couldn't help but stare. The young lady seemed transformed in the past few minutes. The sickly girl was replaced with a vibrant teenager, whose personality was infectious (no pun intended). Jensen found himself chuckling along with her fussing over Natalie.
Frankly, she posed questions that Jensen himself also wondered. Jay and Natalie chatted on the journey, but many details were obscure. She shattered the tension that previously choked the room of all mirth. Jensen nodded along in agreement with her request.
"I assure you, there is nothing wrong with her." He almost couldn't believe it unless he witnessed the miracle himself. There was no explanation. He presented himself to Caroline, aware of the father's hesitation. Secrets permeated this family thick as blood, that much was obvious, especially to one who bore such secrets in years past, but hope crept in like light between dark clouds. Sometimes, that hope was painful to behold after getting accustomed to darkness.
"Sometimes, when God does answer a prayer, like healing a sick girl for instance, and it actually happens, it can be so unbelievable, that we tend to dismiss the miracle as happenstance. Cayli is well."
