Genevieve finished her glass and poured herself another. She drank slowly this time. As she drank, Jamal raised his hand and signed. Genevieve's brow pulled together as she watched him.
"What are you doing?" She asked, and he smiled.
"Our class just started. That's how you say I'm sorry in sign language," he said, doing it again.
Genevieve watched him closely and she tried to copy his movement. She smiled when she finally got it. "What about 'thank you'?" She asked and Jamal taught her that as well.
"How do you sign 'please'?" Genevieve asked, and Jamal showed her, teaching her the basic signs she needed to know.
Genevieve laughed at the ridiculousness of some of the signs, and when she missed some she laughed, and Jamal smiled as he watched her, thinking that she wasn't so bad.
"Abigail told me you were in need of a secretary who could sign," Jamal said after a while.
"Yeah. Do you want to recommend someone?" Genevieve asked easily.
