The Noble Guardian

Was it wicked to say goodbye with a smile?

I love introductory sentences packed with meaning! Nine words, but here’s what they convey:

Someone is happy to be leaving. So happy, in fact, that it brings a smile to her face. (I read ahead so, yes, it’s a woman.) And despite the boldness of her smiling – or contemplating smiling – she feels some compunction about its propriety. Either for its own sake or for the sake of those she’ll happily be rid of.
