Suente

n.
the state of being so familiar with someone that you can be in a room with them without thinking, without holding anything back, or without having to say a word—to the extent that you have to remind yourself that they’re a different being entirely, that brushing hair away from their eyes won’t help you see any better.

Southwest English dialect suent, easy, peaceful, smooth. Pronounced “soo-ent-ey.”
