"Though, I would've appreciated it if Miles's smile was a little less derby.." Lane is talking about the picture we took during the ceremony. Cisco had taken a multitude of shots, but that jerk had settled for the one where my face froze like a rock. But what did these people expect, anyway? I'm well known to not show emotion outwardly. "It wasn't the smile, it's his whole face that is a problem.." sitting to my left, Charlotte flips her pridfully. "...You didn't even smile!" I reply, trying to keep my cool. "At least I tried.."

"No, I’m fine." He asked, "You sure?" "I’m sure," I replied. "I am not experiencing any problems. "I was just talking to Caroline," I said to both of them with a smile. Caroline showed her discomfort with a smile. "Hi," she said, giving them a small wave. "I promise I didn’t kidnap her." Nick let out a breath and finally smiled. "Good to know." Peter took another lick of his ice cream. "See? All that drama for nothing."

I stood in the middle of the living room, facing the security camera's blinking red light, practicing my smile again and again. Looking into the lens, I spoke softly, like I was leaving a message for the Mom who'd watch it someday. "Mom, look. I practiced the perfect smile again today. "Lift the corners of my mouth fifteen degrees and show eight teeth. The books say that's the most sincere smile. The one that makes people feel warm. "I've practiced so much my face hurts... but that's okay. "When you watch this tomorrow... will you tell me I did a good job? "Will you finally believe I wasn't lying to you?"

Really looked this time. At the pink dress. At her soft hair. At her nervous expression. Kane reached for her hand, lifting it slowly. "You look beautiful," he said simply. Her breath caught. "I'm serious," he added, pressing a soft kiss to the back of her hand. The tension in her shoulders eased slightly. "...Okay," she said quietly. Kane stepped out first, walking around the car before opening her door. She hesitated for half a second. Then placed her hand in his and stepped out.

I don't know why I am acting like a fucking idiot, it must be a side effect of the drugs I was given. “For your information, I have never left your side until five minutes ago, when Carson forced me to go take a shower. He said I needed it." She answers, smelling her clothes. “Why were you smiling?" I ask, still scowling at her. “I was smiling because Doctor Max told me that you are getting much better. You were not responding to treatment for the first week, and I was worried. It was good news to me." She smiles. “Where is Carson? How is he?"

Carolina said in her mind still staring at Connor who was starting to wonder what she was staring at. “Caro, are you okay? Is there something on my face?” Connor asked while rubbing his face. Carolina let out a small smile while shaking her head negatively, “Nothing, you look just as handsome as you have always been, don’t let it get to your head though” she returned. “Aha! Someone has finally admitted that I’m hot” Connor stated with a cocky smile while wriggling his brows, Carolina shook her head at his behavior while letting out a small giggle which left Connor staring at her in admiration.

If Harley had never seen Karina’s genuine smile, perhaps he wouldn’t have noticed. But he had seen how she smiled at Wilfred, so radiant and pure it could light up a room. In contrast, her cold indifference toward him was painfully stark. Sliding the key into the ignition, Harley glanced at her through the rearview mirror. “Can’t you at least crack a smile? All this frowning—it’s hard to look at.” Karina didn’t even bother turning her head. “I’m a doctor, not here to provide entertainment. If you’re that desperate for a smile, hit up a bar tonight. You can pay someone to grin at you all you want.”

Carsen reluctantly walked to the door, glanced back, and saw Carolyn with a beaming smile. "Carsen, I loved you." Carsen nodded, "I love you too. Wait for me to come back." Carolyn nodded heavily, "Okay." She watched as the door closed shut, and she sat there, her whole body slumped. The smile on her face gradually disappeared. She took out her phone and sent a message. After seeing the reply, she immediately changed into sportswear, then put on a baseball cap and a mask, and carried her bag as she left.

Looking at him as he pulled a cigar and lit it up. Blowing the smoke in the air as he continued to smoke. His eyebrows shot up forming a line etched on his forehead. Dr. Karsyn looked like a rich ass Sugar Daddy right now. I smiled. "What's with the smile?" Tapping his cigar on the edge of the table and smoked again. Wishing things could be like this. If Dr. Karsyn isn't violent and kinda abusive and masochistic at the same time. Would have fallen on his knees right now. He is a good catch but maybe not for him. In fact, I'll be getting married soon. But. Why am I doing this? And kinda... enjoying? "N-Nothing, Dad,"
