3:20 YAYA:Oh my gosh, Dare. It’s three in the morning. How is it three o’clock already?
3:21DARE:Are you asking me to explain the concept of time or…
3:22 YAYA:Yes, go ahead and explain the concept of time to me, Dare.
3:23 DARE:I better not. That sounded like a threat.
3:24 YAYA:It was sarcasm.
3:25 DARE:Hard to tell a tone of voice over text. Have I mentioned I like yours?
3:25 YAYA:My voice?
3:27 DARE:Does that upset you? That I liked hearing it?
3:28 YAYA:I’ve been told I have an accent.
3:29 DARE:Is that why you don’t speak often?
3:30 YAYA:why are you so curious? you’d prefer I voiced rather than sign?
3:31 DARE:No, I love talking to you in your language.
3:32 YAYA:Relax, Dare. I was joking.
3:33 DARE:I’m not taking any chances in case that wasn’t sarcasm.
3:34 YAYA:you’re off the hook. And to answer your question, I CAN voice, but I CHOOSE not to. Hearing people build a different set of expectations when I voice. Plus, I’m more comfortable signing.
Intriguing.
I want to ask more but she shifts the conversation topic again.

4:10 YAYA:Dare, it’s almost dawn.
4:11DARE:I didn’t feel the time.
4:12YAYA:Me either. I won’t be able to move my thumbs tomorrow.
4:13: DARE:I can come over. Massage them for you.
4:14 YAYA:Unless you plan on climbing through my bedroom window, you won’t even get a toe in the door.
4:15 DARE:Seems like you’ll have to massage your own thumbs.
4:16 YAYA:Sadly.
4:17 DARE:What are you doing tomorrow?
4:18 YAYA:You mean later today?
4:19 YAYA:I have a meeting with my agency. I didn’t book a flight so I’ll probably have to catch a bus.
4:20 DARE:What time’s your meeting?
4:21 YAYA:I’m not telling you.
