Somewhat Empty

I looked at her smile. At first it seemed resolute and unmoving, but slowly it began to unbend and fade into a stoic straight line. My gaze inevitably picked itself up and delved into her eyes. Light sparkled on greens, browns, and a hint of blue. Darkness surrounded them, but I was at a loss as to whether it was artifice or purely natural. Her brows held steady. Her hair was up slightly, but fell partly over her face as if done in a rush. Her ears perched on the sides of her head awaiting for some sign of life to erupt from yours truly. I lowered my gaze to the somewhat empty glass in front of me.
