Sadie took John on a tour of her place and she showed him some pictures of her family so he could see that she didn't lie about anything other than her being Deaf. Then they headed out to have dinner and get to know each other.

The hostess seated them and asked if they would like anything to drink. John ordered his drink and was about to order something for Sadie when she typed out her order on the note pad on her cell phone and turned it so the hostess could read it.

"Wow, that's very impressive." John replied.

"Thank you," She signed back. "But a lot of places here have someone who can sign because the school is so close by."

"I suppose. That does make sense. Do you ever talk? Like, with your voice?" John asked.

Sadie blushed, "Sometimes. I'm shy about my voice. So I do at home, or with family and close friends, but rarely out in public."

"So…will you speak to me after dinner?" John asked.

"Would you still want to learn sign?"

"Definitely." He said honestly.

She smiled, "Ok."

Together the two made conversation and had a wonderful dinner together. If he was saying something she couldn't get, he'd text it to her and then she'd respond. John was very surprised at just how easily Sadie got along. She was always smiling and seemed to be just as wonderful in person as she had seemed via text.

John reached across the table and took her hand, "I'm having a really great time. I'm really glad we're together."

"Me too."

"Want to get out of here?" He asked.

She smiled and nodded.

Truth be told, John wanted nothing more than to hold her in his arms and never let go. Yes, being Deaf was going to complicate things a bit, but it didn't mean that their relationship was going to be impossible.

John paid for dinner and they headed back to Sadie's place. They pulled into the parking lot and headed inside. She began to dig inside her purse to find her keys, when John reached out and stroked her hair and squeezed her shoulder.

When she looked up, John leaned in for a kiss. The kiss was so intense that it made her drop her keys. They both giggled and she picked them back up and unlocked the door. They walked inside and hung up their coats.

John touched her arm, "So, I want to be honest with you. Over the last six months we have gotten to know each other and I really began to fall for you. And I know that we talked about the future and being together, but…how do you feel? I still want us to be together."

Sadie took a deep breath, "Well…I meant everything I said. I really like you too. But, do you think you can handle all of this? Long-term? Me being Deaf is a big difference. I've never been with someone hearing before, but all of my family is hearing so I have lots of experience. And I try my best to blend in as much as possible. I know you wanted easy love, and I don't know if I can give you that."

John leaned over and took her hands in his and spoke slowly, "I don't want easy. I want this. I want you and I learning and loving together. I am willing to give this my all. Are you?"

Her eyes filled with tears, how could she object? She held onto his hands and nodded, "Yes. I want this too." Sadie voiced to John.

John smiled. Yes her voice was heavy with a thick, Deaf accent. Yes it would be hard to make out just what she was saying some of the time, but to John it was beautiful.

They came together and began to kiss again. The pair had found what they hoped for. Now it may have been different than what they expected, but it was good. And had potential to be REALLY good. What would their future hold? At this point, neither one of them knew…but they were sure excited to find out.

THE END….maybe?
