This is my favorite smile. I try to make it happen as often as I can.
April 2 (prompt is he said/she said)
Tell Me Now
“That tickles,” he said, “why do you do that?”
And she does it again.
He protests and squirms,
elbows tucked in, half bent over,
laughing.
He looks at her with a playfulness
that makes her feel light and small.
She moves closer and he squints his eyes,
smiling and waiting for her torture.
She loves this smile
with everything she's got,
pauses to watch its evolution,
and then kisses him,
pulling the whole of his body
into hers.
“This is why”, she said.
