Project Smile

"Why do you never smile?"

"Because I'm not like you. I'm not important enough to be happy."

~ ~ ~

Gabriel Lancaster has never smiled. He has never grinned, never laughed. He goes through life as the world's biggest pessimistic optimist. If anyone else feels down, he does all that he can to cheer them up. But he's never once helped himself.

This bothers Cassidy Evans. Gabriel has helped her out many times, and she's only been able to repay him once. All she wants is to see him happy. But she can never seem to break through his walls and get him to smile or be happy.

Gabriel always wonders why Cassidy even cares. No one else does. But what he doesn't know is that Cassidy has a reason for what she does, and part of it involves her best friend's dead brother, Zach.

One night, Cassidy devises a plan for Gabriel.

One clicker, clicked only when thinking happy thoughts or doing something that makes him happy.

Company, so he knows that he isn't walking this world alone.

Cassidy's ultimate goal: prove to Gabriel that he is worth something in this world.
