She smiles brightly, hoping the fake light will erase the real darkness.
She blinks, forming a quick wall to hold back the tears that sting.
She folds her hands behind her back, attempting to stop the shaking and trembling that is inevitable.

She says little, praying silently that they keep talking and do not notice.
She bids them good-bye, smiling and hiding, ready to go home.
She is stopped before she get far. The question is asked. The process resets and starts again.
I'm fine.
