No one had smiled here for the last two days.

She continued to smile for a moment after the boy was gone.

She smiled for the first time since they'd left the group.

He smiled for the first time in nearly a day.

He smiled for the first time since she had met him.

She smiled for him and turned back to watch her husband.

She smiled for the first time since I'd come down here.

Then he smiled for the first time in many hours.
