Defiant Gaze

You rolled your eyes, you smirked, you gave me the cold shoulder, and then you double-dipped the look , like you were daring me to say something first, but you weren't done talking without saying it

It's like you were whispering through your face , one eye judging, the other mocking, your mouth holding back like it was saving its words for later, but your whole body was ready to argue

I see this look in groups where people don't want to start drama, but they also don't want to back down , you're saying, 'I heard you, I agree with you a little, but I'm not on your team just yet

At work, you're giving that 'I'll play along, but I'm keeping score' look , like you're not mad, not bored, just carefully watching to see if you're worth the energy to engage fully

In a relationship, it's like you're sending a text without typing , 'I saw what you did, I know what you mean, and I'm letting you know I'm still in charge of how we talk about it
