I look up at him. Salahudin has brown eyes, along with four billion other people on the planet. You’d think songs about brown eyes would be common. But no. We’ve got “Hey Blue Eyes” and “Pale Blue Eyes,” and “Green Eyes” and “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.” We’ve got a thousand fantasy books with gray-eyed heroes. (Which is BS, because who actually has gray eyes, and is also handsome and can also swing a sword? No one.)
