The Subtext of Smiles




Dr.Kane smiles and Cynthia wonders what it would feel like to rip her mouth off, pull the offending pink flesh from her face. The feeling passes like a heat wave and she smiles back. She has to clench her jaw to keep it from slipping. Dr.Kane pushes her hair from her face in a gentle gesture that is almost kind. Cynthia finds that she would claw her smile off, if she could get away with it. Dr.Kane leaves, but the feeling does not.
