How would you interpret ‘undramatic’ in the context? Van and his American girl Bunny were wed this morning in city hall, in the nuptial office whose door happens to be directly under Diego’s mural of the ancient Mayans harvesting cacao, though the lovers probably didn’t notice. They plan to move soon to an apartment in New York. Natalya shed a few tears, as tiny and undramatic as her black shoes. She has always known she would lose this son, along with every other. How would you interpret ‘undramatic’ in the sentence: Natalya shed a few tears, as tiny and undramatic as her black shoes? Thanks! PS: It’s from The Lacuna by Kingsolver.

To everyone, her tears were an insignificant event. They wouldn't change anything.
