The High Priestess and Two of Cups

A mutual bond with something held back inside it. The Two of Cups is the equal exchange; the High Priestess is what neither party has put into words. The tradition reads the pair as a genuine connection carrying an unspoken element, and is deliberately neutral about whether that is a problem.

The pairing most associated with a real relationship containing a real silence. Read as depth or as avoidance depending on what the silence is about.

A partnership where the terms have not all been stated. Frequently read where both parties are being polite rather than clear.

Not everything unspoken needs saying, which the High Priestess would insist on. The question the pair raises is whether the silence is protecting the bond or standing in for it.
