Here are the author's original sentences:

"There was no shock on his face. It was lovely and unreadable as a doll's. ... Life flowed back into his face, filled his eyes, moved behind his skin until he was there, staring at me. The look in his eyes wasn't what I expected. Fear was still there and surprise, but underneath was worry."

from The Killing Dance by Laurell K. Hamilton
