ava was,
single-handedly,
the most adorable.

she is,
endearing,
from the start,
but that increased,
when i saw,
her face,
after she cried.

sure, 
i wasn't,
all over,
the idea of,
ash,
comforting her,
but,
that was,
beside,
the point.

i didn't,
know,
that she had,
been crying,
the whole movie.

i only,
turned to,
glance,
at the end,
and noticed,
that ash's shirt,
was wrinkled,
and ava's cheeks,
were wet.

when we came out,
her nose,
was rosy red,
her cheeks,
were puffy,
and she was,
beyond sweet.

she was,
sniffling softly,
trying her best,
to calm down,
and we made,
eye-contact.

ava flushed,
and i resisted,
the urge,
to pinch,
her cheeks.

(i didn't try,
to wipe off,
my smile.)
