The firmness of your lips, parted just so.

The softness of your skin.
What a considerate couple, and they get even more adorable every season we see them on screen.
Somemarriagesdo not have the connection and compatibility they do, which is why they falter.

Colin loves every part of Penelope.
As Kate profoundly declared in the second season, True love is something else entirely.
It is when the rest of the world goes quiet.
It is not eyes that meet, but souls that dance.

Kate and Anthony are true partners aligned in mind, body, and soul, which is why their marriage thrives.
Settle into each other.
Make room for each other.
Until there is nowhere else to hide.
