The split-second smile.
There is this girl with special needs whom I will meet once in a while on the bus. Everytime I see her, she will be staring intently at me, making the already insecure me real uneasy. I never knew how to react, and I will avoid any possible eye contacts with her. It happened again this morning.
In the crowded bus, she looked my way again. She caught my eyes, and I gave her a quick, awkward smile. She smiled back. It all happened within the count of a few seconds before the mob pushed me past her, and further into the rear of the bus. I believe even my colleague right behind me did not notice our exchange.
But I guess I now know what to do when I next see her on the bus again. =)
