the corners of cerise tiers uplift in the meekest of smiles , it's writ all over pallid countenance ; the sadness that he feels . GLASSY EYES as if he is trying to hold back tears . a lump forms in his throat and tj swallows hard , forcing out a weak chuckle in an attempt to dismiss the other's concern .
' c'mon , stop it , i told you 'm fine . i don't know why you think something's wrong . '
