Elena Gilbert Smile の小説・ストーリー

“LENA!” Lena appears in the doorway a second later looking half panicked. “What happened?” “Look!” She walks closer just in time to see Eli smile again when I make the ridiculous noise her eyes go wide. “That’s his first real smile.” “I know!” She presses a hand over her mouth. “Oh my God.” Jess walks in behind her carrying one of her kids. “What is happening?” “Eli just smiled!” Lena says. Jess gasps. “Already?” “Apparently my comedy career is taking off.”

She smiled. Not a happy smile. Not even a warm one. A tiny smile. Gone almost immediately. My stomach tightened. I replayed it. Once. Twice. Three times. The smile remained. Small. Subtle. But there. I stared at the screen. "What was that?" I muttered. The footage continued. Elara walked toward a section of the hallway near an unused storage room. She paused again. Looked around. Then disappeared briefly from the camera's view. Only for a few seconds.

Elena stood in the bedroom adjusting a pair of silver earrings while preparing for another gallery event. Soft music played quietly nearby while evening light spilled warmly across the room. Behind her, Adrian Laurent stepped out of the bathroom still fixing his watch. Then he stopped completely. Because Elena was smiling at herself in the mirror. Not critically. Not uncertainly. Just… smiling. God. The sight hit him harder than he expected. Elena noticed him watching through the reflection. “What?” Adrian stayed quiet for a second too long. Then finally: “You look happy.” A faint laugh escaped her.

There was a bright smile on his face—so bright that I wondered if it was real or fake. Lilith was smiling as she wiped the tears that slid down her cheeks. “You are so beautiful,” she mouthed, blowing me a kiss. I didn’t realize when my smile broadened. She was so dramatic, and I absolutely loved her. Of course, I didn’t forget to look at Leon, Elder Silas, Elara, and Mia. Their jaws were tight, their faces crumpled in a mix of anger and sadness, their eyes shooting daggers at us.

Prince Gilan’s POV “I’m so glad that today is finally the day I’ll be discharged. I can’t even express how happy I am. Thank you, Gilan,” Elena says, her voice bright with excitement. The warm smile on her face radiated pure joy, it was as if her heart had finally been set free. “Yes, I’m happy too,” I reply, returning her smile. “Honestly, I’m tired of seeing you stuck here. So today is not just your day of freedom, it’s mine too. I’m relieved to see you well again.”

His expression didn’t shift, but his tone carried the faintest suggestion of amusement. Elena decided to cut in, not about to let Sienna control the opening. “Then you need us to lighten your evening.” She let her fingers trace the rim of her glass in slow, deliberate circles. Finally, he smiled. But it wasn’t the flustered, eager smile she expected. It was small, knowing, the kind of smile that says you have no idea what you’ve just walked into. And for the first time in all their games, Elena felt a flicker of doubt.

It was thd first time, he saw her smile that brightly in front of him. "Why are you smiling?" Augustus curiously asked her. "Nothing," she simply replied. Augustus stepped closer to her, thus intimidated her. She lifted her head and asked him what he was doing. "I am checking what's the reason of your smile?" Augustus whispered and the hot breath hit her forehead. "It should not matter to you," Eliana pronounced. "It matters to me, Sweetie!" Augustus asserted.

Her face immediately changes into an obvious pretense of a happy face with a fake smile on her lips. Now that's the Elena I knew. A real bitch!!! "T-That was good news," Elena stated showing that infuriating plastic smile of her again. "How about you? Any plans of settling down? I heard you were dating the son of Senator Lewis. You two looked good together by the way." She saw that plastered smile suddenly vanished and turned into a serious and vexed look.

Elena, however, held his arm and tried to pull him up. He was heavy. She used both hands and tried to lift him up. That didn’t work, either. But it didn’t bring a smile to Adrian's face. His eyes were still closed. Seeing his smile, Elena lost her strength and fell backward. Her back hit the edge of the bed. “Aww~!” she cried out a bit. Adrian opened his eyes and watched her with a smile. “I’m hurt, so why are you smiling?” Elena asked. “You look cute when you are crying,” Adrian commented.
