no la... to thank you

He changed

giving her small compliments at breakfast such as:

"I lilke the way your hair looks" or

"Nice dress."

She wondered

He changed

she changed

They changed

And it was for the better

 Why is it so hard to say or write nice nice stuff to people that we care for?

It's time to learn to say nice stuff and thank you eh =)
