But a moment later, the smile returned to her face.
Trying to change the subject, the smile returned to his face.
She looked at me a moment, a smile returning to her face.
She looked up at me and the fixed smile returned.
His smile returned full strength and larger than any she had seen before.
She hesitated a moment longer and then her smile returned.
It is nice to see that a bright smile has returned to his face.
The smile returned in an instant, though, and she raised her voice a little.
The brilliant smile returned as if it had never been gone.
The smile had returned to the corners of his mouth.
