For Mike,
This is the sort of story that comes from late nights of sitting on a boat, gazing up at the stars, and exploring the infinite possibilities.
Part 1: Observation
Faking a smile had never been a problem for Bonnie Neman. As a former, regular fifth or sixth place contestant of the assorted beauty pageants her mother adored, she found she was able to maintain a pleasant expression far longer than the average person. In her running for Miss Teen USA, she even had a nervous breakdown and claimed it as her talent.
I can create a lasting aura of contentment despite the adverse situation of being presented like some prized pig in a room full of people who honestly don’t care because Miss Georgia won this façade twenty minutes ago when she first walked on with slightly perkier breasts than mine.
She then continued to stand on stage for four and a half minutes, smiling and staring at the audience. Although she had been disqualified for speaking against one of the other contestants, a clear violation of rule 27, appendix B, the judges did admit that despite her comment, they were in fact quite relaxed and felt comfortable for the duration of her presentation.
Some talent. If anything it had been a curse. As it turns out, smiling despite the circumstances had led a lot of men on over the years. From bad dates to random suitors on the street believing they were having a moment, it was just her natural expression. Something her mother pushed so fiercely as a child that Bonnie couldn’t help but show her whites whenever she felt all eyes were on her. Not that it wasn’t without its advantages. She was the first of her graduating sorority sisters to find a job, something she felt she owed significantly more to her smile than any other qualification.
Over the phone she had told her mother the same line she’d used on all her friends, The place is called Exponential Innovations. They’re a privately funded subsidiary that invents and innovates for some global conglomerate. Kind of like Thomas Edison, but with an explosive budget. –I know, not bad for a particle physicist and biochemist. –And before you say anything, I’m still glad to be working on something that isn’t my figure. –No, Mom. I’m done with pageants. You need to let it go. Have you considered the lucrative world of dog shows?
To herself,
