meaningful glance
Significant silent communication
A meaningful glance is a brief look exchanged between people that conveys unspoken understanding, intention, or emotion.
The glance carries weight because both parties recognize its significance—a shared secret, a warning, romantic interest, or silent commentary on a situation: They exchanged meaningful glances across the room when he started talking about his "business trip."
