I am asking about deliberate eye contact while neither is speaking, and for a prolonged period. Not for one second, three, five seconds; say 20-30 seconds or even longer.
An extended ,silent, mutual gaze, such as a mother and newborn might exchange.
I have seen my sister in law do this with her babies; it was very moving even to me, a bystander.

wow. I did/still do that with my children...even though they are now in their very early 20's. I realized, recently, that they are the only ones I can hold eye contact with. The thought of looking my T in the eyes, even just to make a point, is terrifying to me. I too would love to hear how this feels.
