***

It's hard, the work we do. The cruelty, suffering and horror human beings inflict on one another is painful to see day after day. Sometimes it makes me wonder if there is any good in this world. Then I look over at him. He gives me that shy, awkward and sweet smile that makes my heart melt. In one look, he reassures me that it isn't all bad. I thank my lucky stars that he's here; fighting alongside me, I don't know if I would have lasted this long without him. If only one of us could pluck up the courage to do something about how we feel. Until then, I'll have to be content with that smile.
