In a major upset, Eric Cantor (R - VA) lost in his primary race to Dave Brat last night. The above video is a portion of the House Majority Leader's concession speech. At the very beginning he kisses his wife, Diana.
Note that Diana does NOT close her eyes. Her head and neck are neither tilted nor rotated until the last fraction of a second.
The Congressman is aiming for his wife's lips. This however is not her (subconscious) intention.
In addition she is the first to pull away - deliberately and actively disengaging from the kiss. A careful observation of the video also shows she pulls away very slightly before the kiss very - belying her dislike for his affection.
Mrs. Cantor is not just a "bad kisser". This kiss is strongly indicative of a low affection quotient of Diana Cantor towards her husband. Such behavior is not what most would expect following a loss of this magnitude or context.
With regards to Representative Cantor, what nonverbals are very incongruent with a person who has just suffered such a major loss?
