It has probably been only in the last couple of months that he has been reinforcing the eye contact in that way.

I can only hold the gaze for a short period of time and then I look away. I'm talking like, one second, maybe less.

He was talking about the way your body feels when someone completely understands you-- the way you just feel it all over-- and I felt like that. Completely understood.
