Verb before lips and palms

Answer:

READ

Hint:

Think of what you might do with tea leaves or a fortune teller’s cards—it’s also the first part of a common phrase about body language.

Explanation:

The clue plays on the phrase "read my lips," where "read" is the verb that comes before "lips." The word "palms" hints at "read my palms," like in palm reading, reinforcing the same verb. Together, they point to "READ" as the answer by combining two familiar expressions.
