English term or phrase: A deep frown slits her eyes
Stunned, Riley gasps against my lips. No passion there today. Of course. And why should there be, I’m not a prince, am I? When she finally falls out of her stiffness, she smacks me on the chest and shrieks, “Jack! You’re so…argh!” A deep frown slits her eyes. “Go home!”

The speaker is upset with Jack, so she sends him home with those words.

Gracias de antemano por si se me olvida luego.

Happy Translating!

Frunce el ceño con fuerza
