They seemed to have changed in tone, almost a lighter color that added easily to his charm.

She sighed deeply, staring blankly at the street before her. It’d take an eternity before she would ever get over him, she could already feel herself giving in to the every signs that he’d give – the slightest sign.
She smacked her palm against her head as she chastised herself for accepting the job in the first place.
