Heat energy flows form the warmer object to the cooler object, and their temperatures

change toward each other, so that the difference in temperatures decreases.

The energy (heat in this case) starts to make an equilibrium by taking heat from the hot object and giving it to the cooler object. This is called conduction, or heat transfer through touch.

If two objects at different temperatures are in contact with each other what happens to their temperatures?

it's sort of like diffusion, the object with the higher temperature will transfer its energy through conduction to the cooler object. after long enough, they will have the same temperature.
