The Greeting
When you walk in the door — find her first. Eye contact, physical touch, genuine presence. Before anything else.
The Phone-Down Rule
Whenever she's talking to you — phone actually away. Not face-down. Away. Then turn toward her.
The Morning Minute
First minute of the day — a real kiss, a real hug, a moment of eye contact before the chaos begins.
