I think I’ll keep this one to myself

— My god, what are you laughing at?
– Um, sorry?
— What are you laughing at?
– Nothing. Nothing at all.
— I’ve never seen you smile so much.
– It’s a private thing I guess.
— … I guess I’m sort of pleased with that then.
– Well, I don’t know. It’s just, I guess it’s good to laugh at something.
— And to smile.
– Yeah.
— For no reason?
– Pretty much.
Pause
— That’s really good.
– I’m glad.
— It’s good to see you happy.
– Thanks.
— I was beginning to think you might have forgotten how.
– Possible. Or I just save it.
— For when no-one’s around?
– Yeah maybe that’s it.
Pause
– Save it for when it’s only for me.
— I don’t want to upset you.
– I’m not upset. I’m very very happy.
— Good.
Pause
— Good. I’m just going to sit here then and enjoy you.
– By all means, please.
