MAYA, a girl who goes through life with an unwavering smile-around other people that is. While juggling four jobs to support her father and a side hobby of modelling, Maya is rarely at home-to her content. Even through the mental and physical turmoil, the brunette fights past it all with a smile and positive attitude. KILLIAN, a man driven by one purpose. Money. The best hitman with most accurate shot in all of New York. Charm and pleasantries are strangers to him, residing outside the realm of his vocabulary. But what happens when he runs into one of the waitresses at his club and spills a drink on her? What happens when he receives a hit on, said waitress? Will he go through with it and kill the annoying girl that's been plaguing his mind? ҉ "Why are you smiling all the fucking time?" "Because why would I frown and make someone's day worse, when I can smile and possibly make it better?" She looks up at me with her big eyes. Her eyebrows furrowing like she's deep in thought. "Why are you always frowning?" I shrug, pulling her closer by her hips, "Because why would I smile and have people think they should come up and talk to me, when I can frown and silently tell them to fuck off?" Only her. I think, she's the only one I want to come up and talk to me. ҉ Cover inspo: Bazookah ҉ 🥇Lace 08/27/23 🥇Innocent 10/21/23 🥇Lace 01/05/24 🥇Alcohol 01/09/24 🥇Tumor 06/06/24 🥇Alcoholism 01/14/24
