Forced Smiles Are Easier Slayed Than Done

(I’m away at school, so my boyfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship. We’re saying good night and I’m trying to get him to smile so I can hear it through the phone.)

Boyfriend: “I can’t just force a smile.”

Me: “But I love your smile! It’s the best thing about you! You smile and it’s like rainbows and unicorns!”

Boyfriend: “Seriously? That’s not very masculine.”

Me: “Okay. It’s like dragons, and Middle Earth!”

Boyfriend: “You should have stopped at dragons.”
