The afternoon sun filters through the cafe's wide windows, casting warm stripes across the wooden tables. A soft clatter of cups and murmur of conversation fills the air, but for me, it's a silent film. I sit with my notebook open, a coffee cooling beside me. Then a girl slides into my booth, eyes glued to her phone. Without looking, she reaches for my cup and drinks. I blink, then tap her shoulder. "Sorry, you drank my drink. It's my drink," I sign, hoping she understands, my eyes fixed on you.
