Voice of an Angel
The next morning, Jose woke up, got dressed, and danced around the house all happy.
Everyone started getting concerned.
"So, how did last night go?" April asked.
"It was the best night of my life. Jessica is a treasure. Everything about her is truly amazing. She's special." Jose said.
"Well, we're glad you had fun. You didn't tell her about the Three Caballeros, did you?" Xandra asked.
"Not a word. Only that I live with some dear friends and we have lots of fun together." Jose said.
"Well, I guess there's nothing wrong with that." She said.
"Now, if you will excuse me, I think I will pay Jessica a visit." Jose said, fixing his bow tie.
He walked over to Jessica's house and knocked on the door.
No answer.
Just then, he heard an amazing sound.
He followed it to the back of Jessica's house and saw Jessica singing and working in her garden.
He quietly listened to her.
This is the woman Jessica is based off of. Jane Russell.

You touch my fingertips and my heart is aglow
You bend to kiss my lips and I can't let you go
Maybe I should resist
I'm a fool, I know
But at a time like this, my resistance is low (your resistance is low)
Your eyes have magic
They seem to say
Come closer, come closer, my darling, come closer
And somehow I can't break away
Can't you see that I wanna be adored
More than you'll ever know?
And I'm going overboard
With a capital "O"
So don't be persistent
Please keep your distance
You know my resistance is low
The minute she finished singing, Jose applauded.
She quickly turned around.
"Uh good morning?" She said, nervously.
"Perfection. Just perfection." Jose said.
"What is?" She asked.
"Your singing. The way you speak was already beautiful, but your singing...it's like an angel." He said.
"Oh no it isn't. I'm not that good." She said, trembling a little.
"Are you alright, dear? I truly mean it." Jose walked over to her and wrapped her arm around her.
"I'm sorry. I just never sang in front of anyone before. Whenever I do, I start trembling and I feel like I want to hide." She said.
"Really? The day I met you, you seemed so confident. Like you could withstand anything." He said.
"Well, I can. I have been in the rodeo back in Texas for the past 4 years and I could withstand the bulls. But I'm not singing then. I'm catching bulls. But believe me. I'm very gentle with them. If I hurt them, I nurse them back to health." She said.
"You have the biggest heart." He said.
"Thank you. But singing in front of others is my biggest fear. Well, it's easy when I'm in a choir or when I'm giving children lessons. I feel more comfortable then. But performing a solo in front of a bunch of people. I just can't do it." She said.
"My dear, it's understandable if your nervous, it's not uncommon to have stage fright, but you have a wonderful talent that anyone would love to hear. I know one day you will be able to sing in front of others. And when that time comes, I will be there for you." Jose said.
She smiled.
"Thank you, Jose." She said.
"My pleasure, my flower." He said.
