I walked into the small pizza place. Looking around I spot Sebastian sitting in a corner, his hair combed back, and he's in a navy blue shirt.

I start walking to the table. My hands start to shake. How do I start a conversation? So you're blind? No. Do I try a cheesy line or do I attempt to do something else? Can't ask about books or movies. Does my being deaf bother you?

I'm at the table now. It's time.

"Hey," I say ready for reading his lips. Except he takes me by surprise.

'Hello, nice to finally-really-meet you,' Sebastian signs with confidence.
