“She was not a little girl heart-broken about him; she was a grown woman smiling at it all, but they were wet smiles.”
“Shadow turned. Her eyes were wet; she smiled at him wanley. "I'll be she loved you.”
“She says she's ok but underneath her smile is her broken heart”
“After all, inside every woman, no matter how grown up she is, there is still a frightened little girl.”
“. . . she gave him one of those broad smiles she reserved for strangers, as if she were aware of being able to pass, in their eyes, for an ordinary woman.”
“The girl turned to him and to his surprise, she smiled faintly. 'She's beautiful'.”
