They show it in their own way, in their own time.

My two girls are very affectionate to me (in fact I don't get much
'screen time' when in front of this computer). Any visitors would
never get that impression from them, since they either go elsewhere or
sit in the background when other people are here. People leave... the
girls want to interact all the time and give smooches.
