"Doesn't it look ugly? Doesn't it scare you?" Leon looked at me. He looked directly in my eyes. He was looking for something in them.
I shook my head. "It doesn't scare me." I said truthfully.
"Then do you pity me?" Leon asked seriously. He held my eyes to his, locked in his gaze.
'Do I pity him?' I asked myself.
I shook my head again. "No, I don't pity you. On the contrary I am happy and proud."
"Happy and proud?" Leon looked at me questioningly.
I nodded.
"Because you have gone thru this and made it out alive. So I am happy because you are alive and I was able to meet you." I said while looking into his eyes. "Proud because you have gone thru this and yet you can still continue on living with a bright smile in your face."
"Bright smile?" Leon asked.
I blushed and looked away. "Y-yes. I like your smile a lot." I said shyly.
Leon chuckled. "You are really different Alicia."
