fingers in fingers?

as we know, there is a phrase called "hand in hand", but sometimes it is not enough to express the meaning when tweo lover interlock their fingers. So can I say"fingers in fingers"?
Thanks.

Hi, You can, of course, say what you want to. It's not wrong, but it's not a standard phrase. I suggest ' with fingers entwined'.

Thanks a lot~when I said "fingers in fingers" to my friend, he said"no, hands in hands", and then I know maybe this phrase is not so good to express my meaning. "with fingers entwined" is very beautiful, I will adopt yours~

May I help you with a couple of sentences?

They are strolling through the park, hand in hand.
They are sitting across a small table, looking into each others eyes, fingers entwined, their champagne glasses still bubbling, untouched.
