“Why is it better?”

“I never dreamed of being serious with someone hearing anyway.”

“So get with Henry then.”

“No.”

“Why not?”

“Because I don’t like Henry.”

“Isn’t it more important that he’s deaf?”

“Yeah, but…” I stop signing and glare at her. “I know what you’re doing.”

“What am I doing?”

“Playing mind games.”

“I’m being serious.” Deej’s mouth collapses into a more severe frown. “I’m trying to figure out what you want so I can help you. If you want to ruin him, I can call Ryo right now. Dare might be a billionaire, but I know a few billionaires of my own. With all the guys together, we can run the Sullivans out of town.” My sister places her hand on mine. “If you want to get back with him, I can drive you over there right now.”

I shudder as I read her lips. “I don’t want to talk to him.”

“Then what do you want?” she signs.

“I don’t know!” I throw my hands up.

She gives me a thoughtful look. “How about we talk to the other ladies? Maybe an outside perspective would help.”

I expect Deej to grab her car keys and head to the farmhouse, but she starts tapping away on her phone. I peer over her shoulder, stunned.

She sends the message and looks up.

“You guys have a group chat?” I sign.

“Of course we have a group chat. Why would we not have a group chat?”

“Why didn’t you add me?”

“Because you didn’t ask.” She gives me ayou should have known betterlook.

I scowl. Deej is small and bubbly, so people often mistake her as the younger sister, but it’s times like these that remind me she’s every bit the annoying older sibling.

“Just let me in,” I sign belligerently.

“No.”

“Why not?”

“Because.”

“Because what?”

“Because I don’t wanna.”

Glad for a distraction, I badger Deej into letting me into the group chat.

My phone pings five minutes later.
