The small of the back

What is about the small of a woman's back, when a special man crosses the crowded dance floor to pass behind and pause to discreetly press her there? Without saying a word, giving only that smile to accompany the gesture. Giving and receiving back so much communication, without a single word. An act and feeling remembered forever. When it's a reserved man, it says even more. It's got to be the most powerful signal, not to mention the sexiest one, that we women love (or most of us I believe, based on conversations with other women). Goosebumps for small (but large) miracle moments.
