Then I realized that Deacon kept looking forward. I followed his gaze. I was looking at Luke. And Luke was looking at him. In a way as intense as sometimes I looked at ... Aiden. I quickly looked at Deacon again. I couldn't see his eyes, but he had a sound ears. After a while, too much to be an uncle looking at another by chance, Deacon threw himself back.
In the excerpt from "Deity" by Jennifer L. Armentrout, a character named Deacon seems to be intensely focused on Luke, drawing the narrator's attention to their connection. This moment creates a sense of intrigue as the narrator reflects on the depth of that gaze, comparing it to their own affectionate glances at someone named Aiden. Such observations highlight the strong emotional ties and possible tension between the characters.
The atmosphere shifts when Deacon, after a period of observation, recoils from his gaze at Luke. This reaction indicates that there’s more to their interaction than casual observation, suggesting that the relationship dynamics may be fraught with complexities. The narrator's perception of Deacon's unyielding attention adds layers of suspense and hints at deeper narratives woven throughout the story.
