His Woman

Camilla's day was undeniably going well, despite her feeling a profound sense of loss.

Lila, noticing her friend's melancholy mood, tried to lift her spirits as she cracked jokes, which, albeit awkward, made Camilla cringe.

However, a warm feeling spread through her heart as she appreciated the effort her friend was making, and she offered a faint, yet encouraging smile.

This subtle gesture caught Lila off guard, eliciting a delighted gasp, and prompting the other ladies nearby to cast a brief, curious glance their way.

Lila chuckled and gently squeezed her cheeks. "Really, Camilla, you should smile more often," she said. "You look absolutely lovely when you do."

Camilla playfully teased, "I'm straight, I don't do ladies." It took Lila a moment to catch the joke, and when she did, her face turned bright red.
