Three years of romance and two years of marriage later, I began to feel 38of him because he never brought me flowers , he never 39me, and nothing had changed in our marriage.
After 40 , I finally told him I wanted to be 41. He just sat there , speechless and didn’t even know__42__to say to make me stay . Finally , he spoke ,“What can I do to change your 43?”
“I’ll stay if you have a good answer 44this question,” I replied coldly。“If I asked for a 45
growing on a cliff, and getting it for me 46certain death, would you still do so ?”
His face grew troubled.“Can I give you the answer tomorrow morning ?” With that , my heart 47. He couldn’t even give me an answer 48away.
The next morning , I found he was 49.However, I found a note under a warm glass of milk . My eyes 50misty as I was reading it
“Dear, I’ll give you my 51.
After you do typing for a long time , I need my 52to do it for you.
Every time you leave the house , you forget your keys . I need my legs to run 53and open the door for you… that’s why I cannot pick the flower for you….”
With tears 54from my eyes , I opened the door. And there he was , with an extremely worried look on his face, waving the packet he had in his hand in front of me.

I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I felt blindly in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had 31the search of jailers (people who guard prisoners). I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could 32get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those.
I 33through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him, “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, 34and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and 35the match, his eyes accidentally locked with mine. At that moment, I 36. I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was 37, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very 38not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a 39jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn't want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and 40a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed 41, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.
I kept smiling at him, now 42of him as a person and not just a jailer. “Do you have 43?” he asked. “Yes, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously felt for the 44of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes were 45with tears. I said that I 46that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. 47came to his eyes, too. 48, without another word, he 49my cell and silently led me out. There, at the edge of town, he 50me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.
My life was saved by a smile. Yes, the smile ― the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people.
