She used to tease Zak about his puppy eyes. He would give her that look and get his way. He was happy and nudged her into hopefulness, but he didn't stay.
His brother's cold blue eyes once had warmed at the sight of her, loved her. She thinks somehow she knew that even before the worlds ended. Now she was judged by that harsh light. Each time it mattered, she had been found wanting.
[Blue-gray eyes like rain, washing away who she thought she was, who she wanted to be, everything she sought. The same eyes, every time she forced him to shift bodies. Was she fearful or exhilerated at the re-vision of herself?]
Sam's eyes question hers. Are you happy? She wishes she knew how to answer. Just like, "Do you love him?" she knows the answer already but doesn't want to say it to him. Then his eyes would look at her differently.
So she says, "Kiss me," with her mouth and "don't ask" with her eyes.
