A playful, faux-innocent smile used to soften tiny mischief, tease a confession, or sugar-coat a small favor. It reads as “I’m being sweet on purpose—go easy on me.” The halo isn’t religious here; it’s comedic.
You’re meeting your boyfriend for coffee; you show up five minutes late and want a playful, faux-innocent apology.
Sorry I’m a few minutes late 😇 coffee’s on me.
You’re on a date with your boyfriend in Santa Monica. He steps away to get ice cream; his sunglasses are on the table. You slip them on and text him a playful, faux-innocent note.
Grabbed your shades while you were getting ice cream 😇 I’ll bring them back with churros.
