A deaf man and me.

Never thought I would fall for someone who could not hear me.

But like everyone says people get blind when in love.

Anyway, Thomas and I have been together for a year.

The past year has been the best.

Although it did take me 6 months to become fluent in sign language.

Life has never been better.

Until I jinxed myself.

Until we got into an argument.

Until I see him hugging another woman in a coffee shop.

I try not to read much into it.

But that woman is gorgeous and way prettier than me.

I am also thinking of going inside when I see her talking to him in sign language.

He looks at her with eyes full of love.

A tear rolls down my cheek.

Because allegedly I know all his friends and she does not seem familiar.

He looks outside the cafe and locks eyes with me.

He sees me crying and is going to come to me.

When the woman holds his wrist and stops him.

And just like that, my heart breaks into a million pieces.
