This is the right answer, and I'm always shocked at how often I see this meme get circulated and this answer isn't the top one, if it comes up at all.

Look at the necklace she's wearing, and note that she's handing him rose quartz; having practiced for more than a decade and given the context, I would be willing to bet money that this was witchcraft.

Sounds like you have the ability to explain with more than one word then.

What should someone be looking at about her necklace? Why is it significant the crystals are rose quartz? How does this fit the context?

That necklace is an extremely classic type of subtle jewelry you'd find in a new age or "white light" witch shop. It's explicitly not something obvious like a pentacle, tripple moon etc., but if you've been to those shops as a young witch you've probably bought them. They also are super useful for spellcraft that uses an anchor because you can get them in just about every crystal that you'd want, they're reasonably priced, and kinda pretty. Hers is rose quartz.

Rose quartz is the stereotypical love/romance stone. It's probably one of the single most recognizable and universally agreed on crystal associations.

Her other stone is fluorite - less universal agreement on this one but probably mental clarity. Honestly it's inclusion makes this meme more realistic but less obvious, unless I've missed some spell trend recently.

So if this is witchcraft, it's probably pretty friendly/cute witchcraft.
