Wordless Love

It's just a regular summer scene. People in the cafes are not the ones that go there only for coffee or some other refreshment. They all seem to have plenty of time and many brought with them pocket novels to read to pass the time, sitting in the open terraza sunbathing at the same time. The couple sitting near me are both reading a book. For ages there's not a single word exchanged between them. I thought at first surely they are too young to have said it all already to each other.

Then I saw it, which comforted and reassured me that everything is just fine. She, without lifting her eyes from her book and without saying a word, simply put her hand across to grab his gently, and he took it, raised it to his lips, kissed it, and gently put it down on his lap; his eyes too were all that time still on his book. All that in total silence, without as much as an eye contact. But things are absolutely fine between them. They had wordlessly shown their love for each other. Their casual gesture says it all.
