One thing or a couple? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

item

This clue is a double definition.

'one thing' is the first definition.
(an item is a thing)

'a couple' is the second definition.
(a romantic couple are 'an item')

(Other definitions for item that I've seen before include "Separate object or unit" , "A thing or unit" , "Seperate article in an enumeration" , "Unit; detail" , "Bit of information" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
