"She is deaf." 
"What, she can't be deaf. I have never heard of a deaf wolf. It is impossible." 
"I am serious. She had an accident when she was six. She didn't have her wolf then, and it couldn't heal, resulting in hearing loss."
She smiled. Her smile could have knocked me over. It was something I would want to see as often as I could. "Can you hear me?" She just shook her head.
