The pain— when he overheard the other employees saying she was ill. It had to be her. Now he knew her name; they called her Angela. Will she be all right? He worried about her but how on earth would he find out where she was to check on her.
The pain— when she saw her thin, pale face. She didn ‟ t smile at the customers anymore. Her face was a pallid composure— respectful yet devoid of any traces of happiness. He was hurt to his last nerve. He wanted to bring back the smile on her face.
The smile— the pain— the smile had returned— the pain arose sharply in his chest, choking him as he saw her happy again in someone else ‟ s arm. Yes, she had found someone who had been able to return her smile before him. He had just stood by and watched as he visited her every day. Her eyes lit up every time she saw that guy; the way his ones did when he saw her … But of course she had never noticed.
