A speck of the sun

People say when someone feels strongly about something you can see it in their eyes. I never really understood this until recently. When I saw it when looked down at her and I always have to down to see her given the fact that she is soo tiny. 

As the finished magazine came out and she looked at it, I saw it. The sparkle, the pride, the emotions of having her efforts turned into results, the unexplainable joy.

She tried so hard to pretend it was nt in her eyes but I could see it. I have always been able to that with her, read her mind almost. It used to freak her out at first but now its as easy as breathing. I just needed to look at her to understand that this was more, much more than anything I have seen in her eyes. 

The feeling of seeing that emotion in someone that close, reflected in my eyes as well. The conviction and depth of what she was shone in her eyes, if not to the same extent, reflected in my own. It was like seeing a tiny speck of brightness, like a part of the sun itself. Yes it was tiny but it was enough to be imprinted in my mind for years to come.
