Chapter one
Mercy thought about how she had met him. She had been waiting for her Mama in front of their church after the close of service. He walked to her, gave her a warm smile and called her by her name.
“Hello Mercy, you look exceptionally beautiful today” he said.
” Thank you” She replied shyly.” You know my name?” she said in wonder, even more surprised that such a handsome guy was stopping to say hello to her.
“You have a lovely smile.” he said
” My birthday is today.” She blurted out.
” Wow! happy birthday! make a wish” he said. ” Pretend that I am Santa”
She laughed.” I don’t know what to wish for”
‘’ Do you love white chocolates? you could wish for those”
” How about if I wish for a birthday cake? I have never had one. Do you think God will provide it?”
” Yea” he said with a straight face. “I hope you get your wish, Mercy. I have to go now”
” It was nice talking to you …..bye” She said.
That afternoon, a cake was delivered to them and the sender was anonymous. She had known he had played Santa but she didn’t tell her Mama who was initially scared to accept the gift. It was the first secret she had kept from her Mama and it was the beginning of many hidden secrets.
