She had eyes like he'd never seen before, or at least never cared to notice quite that attentively. He wanted to bend her head back and see how deep that blue really went. His fingers quivered a little; he closed them around one of the coins instead.

The coins. He should give them to her, shouldn't he? Surely that would make her happy.
