Smiling

[qos]

I didn't write about Lucius's presence at the workshop, even though he was the one who invited me, paid my fee, and drove, because during the workshop itself we both had very separate experiences. It was nice to have him there, however, and nice to be able to share with him afterward.

Sometime on the way home or during the time he lingered in my living room afterward, he told me that I had been smiling a lot during the workshop and "it was quite lovely."

It's been a long time since I've smiled regularly. Honestly, I hadn't been aware of smiling during the evening, but it was nice to know that I had been.

And it was nice to have someone notice and care and comment.
