Happy

"happy"

she says.

it’s a foreign word in her mouth.

"happy, happiness," she tries again.

she get’s her tongue around the word, makes it her own.

"yes," the boy encouraged, "do what makes you happy"

the girl looks up. her eyes are empty but a faint line of sadness.

"but what if nothing makes me happy anymore?"
