Miss
She smiled to him on her way up. He didn't smile back on his way down, alas. He abode by the assumption that they wouldn't exchange a glance. They never do.
Short, sharp and a very powerful story. Cleverly crafted, Toni. Btw, my RSS feed presented me with an additional entry (the one ending 'she is that special') and it was wonderful. One of those short pieces of writing that stops me in my tracks, whilst I ponder the meaning and implications. I hope it reemerges from the drafts folder one day!
Next time he'll smile and she won't, that's for sure. The third time, probably both will be smiling. After a while, though, probably the both of them will end up realizing it was better as it was before the first smile began.
