Her fingers trembled at her side

The only break in the mask of confidence

Her smile was short and sweet

The clothes, glamorously clean

She hurt

His leg shifted slowly, silently

The only break in the mask of sauveness

His smirk was realistic with hints of realism

He fought

They held each other

A silent embrace revealing all of their feelings

And she knew, just as he knew

They could always depends on one another

They smiled, laughed for real this time
