Little Liar (The Web of Silence Duet, #2)

by Leigh Rivers

“Hi!” She’s grinning at me and says, “My name is Olivia. I’m seven!” She holds up seven fingers, and I mentally hold up eight. Hi, Olivia. I’m Malachi, I want to say or sign, but I just stare at her. “Do you think I look like a princess?” Mentally, I nod. But physically, I step forward. I like her—she doesn’t make me uncomfortable. She’s so happy compared to everyone else. And she’s happy to meet me. I tilt my head. Her smile drops. “You don’t like my dress?” Without thinking, because I want her to like me too, I lift my hands and sign, Please don’t be afraid of me. But the confusion on her face and the look she gives her mom tells me she has no idea what I’m saying. That’s okay. I’ll teach her.

ITS WHEN THEY MEET. AWWW THEY'RE SO CUTEEE
