Hank hadn't smiled in forever. Okay, so maybe that was a slight exaggeration, but that's what it felt like to Evan, who liked seeing his brother smile. He didn't like unhappy people because unhappy people, especially when they're your older brother, are no fun to be around.

So Evan set about trying to change that, starting with this trip to The Hamptons. Hank hadn't seemed all that thrilled about it, but Evan ignored it in favor of trying to get him to smile. That stupid bitch, Nikki, made him like this. It's like when she left, she took away Hank's ability to be happy and smile, and that was unacceptable to Evan.

So he finally convinced Hank to go with him and he had seen a shadow of smile on Hank's face when the girls in the car next to them had said, "You mean Worst Hampton." giggled, and drove off, leaving Evan blinking after them.

They get to the party and Evan talks his way in and, finally, they're here.

"Bro, this is where God would party." Evan says as they take in the sight of the dancing, swirling, happy mass of people.

"Yeah, if he could get in." Hank snickers.

Evan looks over at him and there's the smile he's been aiming for ever since Nicky left.

"Want to know something interesting?" He asks.

"Sure." Hank leans over to hear better.

"For the first time in a long time, uh, you're smiling." With that said, Evan backs away from him, grinning.

Hank stares at him for a moment, still smiling. Evan has made him happy and that's exactly what he needed.
