Eyes

It was just Eli and me. I was putting on mascara and he was watching me intently.

"Why do you put that on?"

"Because I think it makes my eyes look pretty."

"Oh."

When I finished the first eye, I turned and looked at him. One eye with, one eye without. He looked at me.

"You're right, it is prettier."

I smiled and turned to finish the second eye, "I know."
