anonymous Does the sentence work with one of at, to or toward? I would use "at". "To look to someone" is a fixed expression meaning to expect help from them and has nothing to do with your eyes.

I would use "at". "To look to someone" is a fixed expression meaning to expect help from them and has nothing to do with your eyes. To look toward Mike would be to scan your gaze in his general direction.
