"She stood at the corner of the bedroom door watching, seemingly unafraid, but inside those huge brown eyes was a worm of fear that had been there too long to be plucked out easily."

A person's eyes can say a lot about how they are feeling at a particular moment. They are a good source of emotion. Only experts have figured out how to control the emotion their eyes show. For instance, models are experts on how they control emotion in their eyes. They know how to show seduction, fear, and even smile with their eyes. I'm sure it took a lot of practice and looking in the mirror. I think the emotion that is easily seen the most is sadness. Most people can tell if a person is sad by their eyes, sometimes the glassy look of an eye is the easiest indicator. The look of the eyes in this picture can convey many emotions. I see a slight sadness as well as a cautious look. Your eyes can't hide true feelings. If a person really wants to know what someone is thinking the best thing to do is just look into their eyes.
