“‘Buzz, buzz, buzz.’”
Paralyzed, speechless, tears sprang to Janelle’s eyes. She covered her mouth so her sob wouldn’t escape. Those were the first words Raeanne had spoken in seven months. For any other mother of a five-year-old, the words would mean little.
To Janelle they were an answer to a prayer.
“Atta girl!” Grinning, Adam ruffled her hair. “‘There’s a bee. A flying, stinging bumbly bee. He goes...’”
“‘Buzz, buzz, buzz,’” Raeanne whispered.
“Okay, one more time. ‘There’s a bee. A flying, stinging, angry bumbly bee. I’m going to—’”
“‘Buzz, buzz, buzz,’” she said, her voice stronger now.
“‘Buzz, buzz, buzz away,’” Adam finished with a flourish, shifting his gaze from Raeanne to Janelle.
Hailey grabbed Raeanne and hugged her. “You did it! You sang the song.”
