Married 30 years. Eyebrow position and, "eh?"

"Eh."

And we are pretty much on the same page.

Yup, we're only at 12, but a look is enough, we're usually thinking the same thing.

But the other additional one, three squeezes, hands, or whatever can be touched without being obvious, is I love you. Seems sweet, but most often used when one of us is getting pissed off (at something/someone else, not each other).

We do the same three taps on the shoulder or hand squeezes for “I love you” too. Hon, is that you?
