The sentence that would require a reader to make an inference about what is happening is:

Hollis’s eyes watered up with tears.

This sentence suggests that Hollis might be feeling strong emotions (such as sadness or joy), but it doesn't explicitly state the reason for the tears, requiring the reader to infer the underlying cause.
