[376: She doesn't speak couple.]

[elskegaderian]

Stephen’s preoccupied with Dio, with sitting there all cuddled up to his girl, in cooing words to her in a secret couple language only the two of them share, in forming an impenetrable bubble of togetherness around the pair of them that shuts the rest of the world out

This reminds of lines from a poem by W. H. Auden

We kissed and I was glad
At everything you did,
Indifferent to those
Who sat with hostile eyes

probably because by the end it describes what happens to everyone involved
