“It’s nothing compared to that smile, Cara.” She points at me, squinting. “Right there in the corner. Small and unsure, but still my favorite sight.” She smiles then, soft and so full of love. “I don’t care what you wear, darling. But the world loses so much when your smile is gone. Feel what you need to feel. Just remember who you are through all of this. Don’t let anyone or anything steal that from you.”
