The young man was repeating to his girlfriend how lovely she was, and she kept pretending as if it didn’t matter. She probably tried to avoid the hit of emotions. She persisted in ignoring his words of admiration, as if she was really bothered by them, or as if they didn’t really matter and it hadn’t made any effect on her. She continued to talk about other things. Chatty, in good mood, friendly, but not responding to his flattering comments. I could not see their faces, as I was showing my back to them. Even though unable to see their faces, I could tell about the dynamics, and never mind her verbal response, one could sense that the words of the young man pleased the young woman.
