if he is looking AT someone
" suddenly their eyes met and he held that look wishing he could say what was in his heart"
or is he expressing an emotion:
"His eyes had that look, that "Don't push me" warning"
--- End quote ---
I´m trying to get across that his eyes are expressing an emotion (want, desire)
"His eyes held that look. Even after all this. At least he wasn’t fickle."
so I´ll go with "had" then. Thanks! I appreciate the help!

Hey Monika!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How have you been?
I like "held that look" better just because I think it expresses more emotion.

Can the word "tame" be used as a verb?
As in this sentense "For sure, nobody could tame her"
