It's All In The Eyes

It took me an hour and a half of research and critical thinking, but eventually I managed to piece together the words that described beautifully my [currently] nameless character! It would have been too much to tell of his creaseless buttoned dress-shirt and pants, his sandy-brown hair that sparkled like the ocean when the suns' rays hit it, and his long thin fingers, that whilst they were harshly charcoal-stained black, they still appeared gentle. No, that would have been too much for such a seemingly perfect character. Because by definition of being perfect, there is a lot of unknown- because a person can only seem perfect, not be perfect.

So I satisfied myself with targeting his eyes. Eyes can tell a lot about a person- you can see pain in someone's eyes. You can see secrets in someone's eyes. A person can use their eyes to cause you to trust. And that is what he has done with his opulent emeralds: caused Evelyn to trust a complete stranger.

There’s something in your eyes

It gets me every time.

The sincerity, the care, the love

And it’s that word which creeps to my lips,

Daring to hang naked between us.

But before I get the chance,

You speak, your smooth voice making me melt,

And your words take my breath away.

It doesn’t matter how good a liar you are

The eyes will always give you away.

Well, eventually Evelyn will see it, anyway...
