They found an empty table in the corner of the outdoor seating area nearest to the café itself. “Sit anywhere you like,” gesturing to the recently expanded outdoor seating, each metal table placed a careful six feet apart from the next, spilling over the sidewalk into the street. He nodded towards the podium by the entrance of the café, and they walked up to the bored-looking hostess together. Nice to finally meet you in person, she replied, her spidery hands moving far more deftly than his. Leo adjusted the collar of his button down nervously. She wore a burgundy sundress over a black turtleneck and tights, with a black mask made of some kind of silky material. Her dark eyes sparked with recognition when she spotted Leo, who began enthusiastically waving an arm in the air in front of Cafe Étude. Have to remedy that today, he thought.Ī slender girl with silky white-blonde hair that fell to her hips emerged from the crowded crosswalk.
She was a good listener, too… although she didn’t offer up much information about herself, so it was a pretty one sided conversation. Besides, she was way better at ASL than him, and she didn’t seem to mind helping him out. She was nice, and she was really sweet when they got paired up in class last week. Maybe her family is the hardcore hippy type– you know, like the ones who believe in chemtrails and don’t even own a microwave or a tv.” Josh started laughing– “Ey, maybe that’s the answer, Sam.

Leo couldn’t help but crack a smile at this. “And her name is… Lilin? Is that some crunchy-granola white girl name? Like did they forget to add the ‘a’ for Lilian?” Josh looked up from his phone to add “…it’s a little sus, dude.” “What, like she hasn’t had internet at home the whole semester?” “I mean, she’s always zooming from this café in uptown, so she kinda has to.” You’re telling me she shows up to virtual class like that, every time?” “Bro, she was the only one wearing a mask in her video. The minute class was over, he stormed into the kitchen to glare at them. Leo had almost burst a vein when he spotted them in the corner of his screen, their goofy faces peering over his shoulder like a couple of kids, barely containing their snickering. Sammy and their other roommate, Josh, had crept into Leo’s bedroom during his ASL class yesterday to catch a glimpse of their friend’s mysterious crush.
And second, there’s more important things than appearance, dick.” “First of all, she’s just mute, not deaf. “It’s practically a blind date– and she’s already deaf.” “How do even you know if she’s cute or not?” Sammy had demanded. Was this even a good idea? Asking out a girl whose face you’ve never seen? Leo’s friends had given him so much shit when they found out she didn’t have social media. But Leo didn’t want to get a table without his date it seemed more polite to wait so that they could go to the hostess together. “Maldita vieja bruja,” he muttered with an eye roll. An elderly white lady stared him down and clutched her Chanel purse a little tighter as she passed him on the sidewalk. Tall brown kid with a backpack lurking on the street corner, practically sweating with nerves despite the chill October air… and this café was in one of the nicer parts of the city, on top of that. He hoped the other café patrons weren’t getting creeped out. He still couldn’t get over the discomfort– it made him think of the face-huggers from Alien.
Leo worked from home, so he rarely went into public spaces, rarely had to bother with putting one on. It took some getting used to, even after seven months of living through a pandemic.
