Wyatt said, “She dropped out of high school. What kind of ideas could she possibly have? I probably know more vocabulary than she does.”

Jordan went quiet.

Yunice glanced at Wyatt, held it in for a few seconds, and then finally blurted out, not ready to back down, “I speak seven languages.”

Jordan laughed. “Mrs. Cooper, come on. Don’t try to bluff us–we know your background. You spent three years in a psych ward, not a language institute. There’s no way you know seven languages.”

Yunice went silent.

To prove she wasn’t lying, Yunice replied to Jordan in six different languages.

Wyatt frowned and asked through the phone, “What’s she rambling about?”

Jordan was stunned for a second before replying, “She said I shouldn’t look down on her. And that if she had a college degree, she would’ve passed the certification exam for translators by

now.”

Wyatt glanced at Yunice. “That confident, huh?”

Jordan added awkwardly, “But I didn’t catch everything she said.”

Even someone like Jordan wasn’t fluent in all seven languages. He caught bits and pieces, but a few lines were totally lost on him.

Yunice idly played with her utensils and said calmly, “The rest of what I said was, even though I never formally studied foreign languages, I grew up reading original medical texts from all over the world. I used dictionaries and looked up every word one by one. By the time I was a teenager, I could hold full conversations without a problem.” She looked straight at Wyatt, full of confidence. “Which language are you struggling with?”

Jordan jumped in before Wyatt could answer. “Mrs. Cooper, you probably don’t know this, but Wyatt’s never spent a single day in school. Honestly, it’s a miracle he can even read. Aside from his native language? He’s hopeless.”

Wyatt frowned but didn’t argue.

Yunice paused for a second, then said, “Let me handle it.”

Wyatt gave Yunice a look. “When will you have time?”

They were both always busy–sometimes they went days without even seeing each other. They were always on different time clocks.

it’s part of your everyday routine.”

Then she realized Jordan was still on the line–and immediately fell silent.

Jordan hung up with a sharp click, giving them some space.

Yunice didn’t regret it for a second. She set her utensils down and said calmly, “I’ll teach you.”

Wyatt didn’t respond right away. He took a slow breath, then looked at her with a faint smile. “Alright, Ms. Saunders.”

Yunice’s face flushed. For some reason, hearing Wyatt say Ms. Saunders felt different–like there was something quietly intimate about it.

And she meant what she said. Whenever they were together, she kept him close, pointing out around them and naming them as they came up. She kept it simple–just starting with whatever was right in front of them.

Yunice kept her cool. “Everyone starts out rough. Trust me–you’ve got plenty of room to improve.”

Wyatt raised an eyebrow. “Is that just a nice way of saying I can’t possibly get any worse?” He smirked. “You’ve got a real talent for encouragement, Ms. Saunders.”
