I’ve always liked making him smile before—it’s not something he does often enough as it is—but lately, it’s become a bit of a little game for me. A secret one, of course. But I try to catalog what it is I do that gets certain reactions. How to get a genuine smile, where the dimple is deepest. What I do that makes just the corner of his lips twitch up in amusement. All the little things I’ve started to pay more attention to, even if I shouldn’t.
