Okay folks, listen up and listen right now.
Eyes do not collide. Or if they do, a) you're writing horror or b) your name is Libba Bray (*waves at Libba*. Yes, that scare-the-roommate story still cracks me up)
Gazes may collide. Stares can collide, although that's trickier. But eyes? Remain in sockets. They do not collide, follow someone across the room, jump from item to item, or otherwise do anything that would require them leaving their sockets unless actually leaving their sockets.
Okay? Okay.
Your line-editor thanks you.
