As they played with the two pups, I saw a feeling of mild disappointment in Sam’s eyes. He left his sister to play with the dogs and walked up the aisle again. He threw a brief look at me and walked ahead a few paces. Disgruntled, I placed my chin on the floor. Shortly after, he came back and looked at me again. I saw his eyes—big, black, and full of hope. I’d never seen a pair of human eyes speak so much in so little time. He looked straight into my eyes, and I stood right there. My eyes widened, and I just kept looking at him, and he at me.
