Looking for a word:

So my sentence is:
As soon as I heard a male's voice enter our apartment, I looked at Kath with a look of _______
I believe the word is - to want to know more about who this person is. I can imagine I would raise my eyebrow. I think I may have just realised the word I'm looking for is intrigue, but for some reason I think there may be another word and it starts with C.
Any thoughts? For now, I will use 'intrigue'.

Has your character 'guessed' who the male voice might be? Or is the character more surprised and inquisitive?
You're right yeah, and intrigue works, but Rubberskin works too. Cheers guys, was just having a right mind block.
That's a good one. :thumb:
I suppose you could say, using the 'c' word, "I turned and gave Kath a curious look."
Xx
But you probably don't want to look at someone with a look of anything. That's a lot of looking
Maybe you could flash Kath a curious look?
'As I heard a man's voice floating in from the aprtment door, I flashed a look at Kath as if to say "Who's that?"'
or
'My face was a mask of curiosity as I heard a male's voice in the apartment'
The original phrasing erks me somewhat, as it reads as though a voice has entered the apartment bereft of an owner.
She looked at Kath with a look of butt?
You raise a very good point here.
I like Mist's option of:
'As I heard a man's voice floating in from the aprtment door, I flashed a look at Kath as if to say "Who's that?"'
Cos that's exactly what happened. Churrs guys.
