She smiles with uncertainty
She exposes her wounds to the oxygen that will soon heal them. She finds strength in her vulnerability. She's discovered her worth not in people but in love.
She wears a scarred heart on her sleeve, that she still gives away willingly. She now understands what unconditional love looks like, and how painful it can truly be. She sees that she's a masterpiece to be unveiled before the eyes of those who choose to pursue her. This is the beginning of her undoing.
