PROMPT: Human Touch (Judging Amy)

Eyes

Hotch

He never really considered brown to be a colour on his list of favourites. It's one of those colours that you use to decorate your house, the colour that you stain your furniture or your deck. His bed, for example, is brown, so is most of the wood for his living room. So are Emily's eyes.

He can always tell what she's thinking by the look in her eyes. For a woman with the most epic poker face he's ever seen, she can't seem to get the expression out of those chocolate depths. Or maybe he's just more adept at reading her. He's spent enough time looking into those eyes that there's no mistaking who knows her best.

They can change colour too, nothing drastic like brown to green, but shades. He's noticed, because he spends so much time watching her. By the time he noticed that her eyes changed colour, his marriage with Haley was over and before they got together he was self-conscious about it. She was his subordinate, after all, and if he was being brutally honest with himself, he was a little afraid of her mother.

She'd once asked him what his favourite part of her was, and laughed when he'd given her a philosophical answer. She wanted the physical thing he liked about her. He'd grinned, full with dimples and told her the answer was as easy as his own name.

Those expressive brown eyes.
