Not having an answer, she shrugged and gave him a helpless smile.

She looked down at Miles, though, and her lips softened with a helpless smile.

"I can never keep it all straight," Roxy said with a helpless smile.

She sighed as he pulled a helpless smile from her.

He looked at Tore and saw a wide, helpless smile spreading across the other man's face.

Every time he looked at her, a helpless smile took him.

But when she met his gaze, his face broke into a helpless smile.

"Work," she says simply, a helpless smile spreading across her broad face.

It was neither a confirmation nor a denial, just that helpless smile of his.
