Sweet Elegance and understatement are the goals here.
To make it flow, each of the triplets are played like a chord.
The first chord is a "C" form E played with a 1/2 barre on the

place on the seventh
fret of the third and first strings, the first finger 1/2 barres
the fourth fret and then slides to the fifth fret. The second
finger is added to the 6th fret of the third string during the

the second string.
