Desiree nodded.

"I'm the same." She told him honestly.

"Good furniture is ... hard to let go." She added.

Desiree was silent for a moment.

"I..." She started.

"Did not expect that offer." She added after a moment or two.

"He and is love have been inviting me out there fr years. So I know I'm welcome without an isue, I just... Don't want to go q-q-quite that far" She admitted.

"I... I'll c-c-c-consider it. Thank you."

"I'll be all right. For the moment, at least." Desiree admitted.

"Might go with him back home." She admitted. "Because, really? ... I ... They know where I'm living." There was definite unease to her voice.

"No... not that I want to..."

Desiree was silent for a moment before sighing.

"Thank you, Jaden." She commented.

"And yeah, I will be all right." She added.

"He's a really close friend of mine." She assured him.

"I'll be safe with him."

Desiree didn't say anything for a moment before just using her beaten up phone and finding the ordering app that her and Leo usually used, before filling out of the basic order for the the youngest of the three. She then handed her phone over to Jaden, so he could look it over, or do whatever he was going to do.

"Easier." She said as he accepted it. It really was, considering the fac that while she could speak better, loads better, since taking the time to train her speaking ability with Dean, she was still not perfect. The night she'd had, as well, could easily make it kick into high drive at any point, and she knew that. So she didn't want to risk it.

Desiree was silent for a moment, debating his offer.

"That... I think would actually work." She told him honestly.

"There Is a place in the city he really likes, however you'd have to double one order so he can take the second home."She added with a light laugh.

"And of course I'll pay you back. Just... might be a bit."

"I would rather pay him actual money, I admit." Desiree told him. "However, I know he'd never accept it. So some other option would be amaing." She added.

"He won't even accept me putting on a free show for the k-k-kids as repaymet. Which really sucks, because that'd be easy." She then said with a sigh, and a shake of her head.

"But what are you thinking?"

"One of a kind from an up and coming tech whiz." Desiree answered honestly.

"He's going to tell me that I dont' have to pay him for this either." She then said, sighing, heavily.

"And I don't' like him working for free."

Desiree just chuckled.

"There... there is a reason why I needed my friend to show up, and why he took them." She told him after a moment or two.

"They... he custom made them, specifically for me. They act as a hearing aid, along with everything else." She added after a moment or two.

"Which is why they are nearly necessaryy for me, and why I said that you couldn't buy me another pair. They just wouldn't work for me, literally."

Desiree looked to him when he sat on the floor in front of her, as she felt him lightly hit her knee.

"I... I c-c-can read lips, amazingly well."She told him honestly.

"So... So just m-make sure you enunciate well and ... and I should be good."

Desiree missed everything single word and action that Jaden just did, as she hadn't been looking at him. She couldn't bring herself to look over at him. The timing was too convenient, and she didn't know if it was just that, convenient timing, or something actually worth worrying about.

"I.... S-s-sorry... I .. I should have... but... I just..." She started, and he could hear the unease and everything creeping into her voice. However, he was good at reading people, and was reasonably certain that she was just scared of the situation, not so much scared of him.

Desiree didn't say anything as she handed Leo the headset. She didn't say anything as he left, either.

Once he was gone, she just sighed, heavily.

"Since you inevitably asked, yes. I'm deaf. Born as such." She said, not looking over to him, not wanting to. She couldn't move at the momet. She didn't really know Jaden yet, and was finding herself terrified that he was actually working with her family.

Considering it was literally the next day after meeting him that this happened? Yeah, she wasn't entirely convinced he was a good sort.

"Hey, L-l-l-l-l-leo" Desiree said after a moment or two, with a small smile.

"And... Yeah. I think so? Doubt... I doubt R-r-r... R-.." She started before just sighing and hanging her head.

I doubt Rene would have let me leave, otherwise. She signed, having given up with saying names that night. She did it automatically, as it was a reflex for her when she had a hard time speaking. Normally, she hid that she was deaf, and would never have done something of the sort in front of someone new, like Jaden.

As soon as the fact that Jaden was still there clicked, she froze. Almost immediately there was panic on her face.

"Whatever the reason, I appreciate it." Desiree told him honestly.

"Thank you... just... just so so much." She said with a small shake of her head.

"I... How can I ever repay you?"
