Little Tokens

Her laughter is driving me crazy!  How on earth can the woman laugh so much?  There is nothing to laugh at; our lives suck.

She kissed him on his temple.  Smiling.  That stupid, dopey, I-love-you smile.  I don't feel the same about her.  I will never be able to love her the same.  And therein he understood how much she loved him even though he was broken.

When she brought him a Pepsi, he thanked her.  She smiled to herself as she walked away.  Little tokens.  It's everything he has to offer.  And I will treasure them in my heart.
