The restaurant was filled with elegant murmurs and soft music.
But a different kind of silence began to form around the Valdés table.
Carmen continued speaking in sign language.
Her hands moved with excitement.
Elena translated slowly.
—She says that never in all these years had anyone in a restaurant taken the time to talk to her like that.
Julian looked at his mother with a serious expression.
Then he looked at Elena again.
And then he said something that made the entire restaurant fall silent.
—Elena, would you like to work for my family?
Elena blinked, confused.
-Mister?
Julian placed both hands on the table.
—My mother needs someone who can communicate with her every day.
Elena felt her heart begin to beat strongly.
