God, I was starting to really hate that look.
*Keep calm Desi, he can’t see anything you don’t give him. Just breathe, calm down and it'll be alright,* Balric told me, easing my nerves.
“I would imagine so, Sir, but I’m still not hiding anything,” I insisted, and then something amazing happened. He quirked an eyebrow and gave me a smile. Not one of his almost smiles but an honest to God smile. It changed his face completely. Instead of the grim harshness, his face typically held, it was now softer and absolutely beautiful. Humor sparkled in his eyes as he continued to look at me but this time, I didn’t care. I could stare at that smile for days.
