By Any Other Name (2015)
“He was tired and knew that he had missed an excellent home-cooked meal, and things had not gone well at work despite his extra hours of labor. His face, as he came through the door, held that expression that would cause his wife to become especially understanding.

Luanna Maugham truly was an extraordinary woman. With only a minimal use of her face and the suggestion of a ...shrug and the single word “Grandpa,” she managed to convey amusement and irony and compassion and tolerant acceptance, and thereby begin diffusing his potential grumpiness.
