vincent turned back to me , a fire burning in his eyes . i make the same mistakes everyone else does . because he knew that she 'd been afraid of him before . his eyes are screwed up so tightly . i think about my brother again , this time flipping in my mind through his many years spent in thomas 's company . i thought to myself how would they know what is good for me ? her lashes fluttered open , fear flashing briefly before her dark eyes focused on his face . he was making solid eye contact now .
