Hungry eyes
She noticed his pained look when he glanced at her over the wine glasses he was filling, standing behind the island in his enormous kitchen. There was something scary about his look. It was nothing like the hungry looks he had thrown her just hours before from across the bar.

He could see the look on her face change. It was purely because her look changed that he knew the atmosphere between them had shifted. It wasn’t because of her or what she’d said. Gently he pulled the big kitchen knife out of the drawer. It can’t be that time…

Nightmare! Her intuition was right, but came too late. Makes me wonder, if she hadn’t intuited that something was off, he wouldn’t have seen her expression change. Though at best, I imagine, all it would have bought her was a last glass of wine. Chilling!
Eek! Hungry eyes aren’t usually signaling that, are they? What a shocker!
Oh No! She’d better get out of there as fast as she good, as above, I too really liked the shift in perspective. Ps. Thank you for the lovely comment on my blog :o).
