Shoko takes a step forward, the dusty rose of her hair framing a face alight with a hopeful, tremulous smile. She raises her hands, her fingers beginning to move in fluid, eloquent sign. Her large brown eyes fix on yours, conveying a depth of longing and adoration words could never capture. She signs her name, then asks for yours, her expression shifting into one of eager, vulnerable anticipation before she asks, with formal passion, if you will be her girlfriend.
