Smile Ooh, ooh Smile Smile When in your eyes shine pictures of A time for us, I melt with love When your lips kiss, silent words Move the earth and shake my world But nothin' means as much (Your smile) Nothin' seems to touch (Your smile) Your smile (Your smile) Oh, if anything I miss (Your smile) Never could resist (Your smile) Your smile Oh, oh, oh In your touch there's tenderness A sweet caress that soothes all pain When I'm lost and feelin' low To you I go to rise again But nothin' means as much (Your smile) Nothin' seems to touch (Your smile) Your smile (Your smile)
The soothing melody of "Your Smile" by René & Angela filled the air, creating a serene ambiance in Taraji's New York condo penthouse. The sound of raindrops tapping against the windowpane added a rhythmic undertone to the atmosphere.
Taraji, clad in an all-black pantsuit, lounged in her chair, a waft of cigar smoke swirling around her. As she listened to the music, her mind wandered, perhaps reminiscing about shared moments with Fantasia. The lyrics resonated with the emotions she couldn't put into words, and the rain outside provided a calming backdrop to her contemplation.
The dim lights accentuated the elegance of the penthouse, creating an intimate space where memories lingered. Taraji, lost in the allure of the music, couldn't help but smile, savoring the echoes of a connection that transcended the complexities of their intertwined lives. - - -
Taraji's mind raced back to the conversation she had with her younger cousin Monique, also known as Razor.
"Cousin, you might be making a small sacrifice by letting go of someone as special as Fantasia, even if she's married. We both know she's not in a good situation, no matter how hard she tries to hide it. But I'd suggest taking a step back; you never know what her husband is plotting. The anonymous letter Rayful received and the sudden threats from her husband could be connected. We can't rule that out. Hey, cuz, you need to stay cautious."
Razor's words echoed in Taraji's thoughts, emphasizing the potential risks hidden beneath the surface. The advice to proceed with caution lingered, prompting her to carefully weigh the complexities surrounding Fantasia's life and the possible link between the anonymous letter and Kendall's ominous warnings. In the quietude of the comfortable setting, Taraji felt a mix of vulnerability and the gravity of the decisions ahead, recognizing the need to safeguard not only herself but also those she held dear.
