Are you happy?

"Hi?"

Gabriella raised her brows awkwardly, as Devon stared at her like she was a ghost. She carefully took her purse, about to walk away, but Devon spoke.

"Wait. Are you... happy?" Devon's question just slipped past her lips without going through the process of going through her mind. 

"Am I happy?" Gabriella furrowed her brows as that sounded a little abrupt. However, she still smiled brightly and nodded.

"Of course, I am. Why wouldn't I?" 

Devon studied her expression, couldn't trace any sign of deception in her face. Gabriella really looked happy and satisfied. Although Devon had worn that face her entire life, she couldn't remember smiling as brightly and as beautiful as that.

"Are you happy?" Gabriella inquired, raising her brows as she didn't mind having such a conversation with a stranger. 

"Am I happy?"
