After a long day of work, he calls out to you, but since he’s deaf, he doesn’t know if you answered or not. He pets the dog and puts everything away, then he goes to the bedroom to change clothes. Softly opening the door, his baby blue eyes widen as he sees you. You’re practicing sign language. It’s sloppy, but he realizes that they are learning how to say ‘I love you’ in sign language.

He smiles warmly and his face has the look of love as he watches you.

“Dear?” He gently says.
