I am employed at a flower stand. This guy arrives, purchases a rose, and gives it to me silently for the fifth time in a row.
I initially assumed he was simply shy. He returned today as planned, and I was at my breaking point. “All right, let’s finally get to know each other,” I blurted out. He then took a piece of paper out of his pocket and wrote that he just likes to see me smile, even though he is deaf and mute.
