I take one last look at the lake before going into his car. We drive, Christmas music blasting again. I look out the window into the winter wonderland of the trees and the snow. Look over to Chris and he is looking at me. He looks away as if he was caught doing something wrong. He slowly glances back at me in the cutest face ever. I grin and giggle. He laughs then looks back at the road. I sigh and draw out his face in my head. His eyes and smile make me smile. I tilt my head back onto the seat. How does his smile just affect me so much?

“What are you smiling about? I didn’t know the road was that interesting,â€? he jokes.

“I was just thinking,â€? I say, hoping he will just let it go and not ask me.

“About what?â€?

I laugh, “nothing…â€?

“Oh, its something alright. It is always something when you smile like that.â€?

“How do you know that?â€?
