During the pandemic, my wife and I became more expressive with our eyes, because of our masks.

If I notice her going neutral face with her eyes, I know she's about to get upset. Where if my eyebrows pretty clearly tell my mood to her.

Apparently my eyes go soft when I'm being silly. I enjoyed hearing it but I have no idea what it means

Been told almost verbatim the same thing, no idea what it means either. Friend in question said they knew me for years before they were able to notice it.
