glances away
Looks somewhere else
To glance away is to briefly shift one's gaze from something, typically to avoid eye contact or break attention: She glanced away when he caught her staring.
The phrase often suggests discomfort, embarrassment, or deliberate evasion—a small but telling gesture in conversation or confrontation.
