[EDITING] They say love is tender when expressed through words. People communicate to forge connections and create lasting memories, often falling in love through the power of sweet words. When we love someone, we express it verbally, showering them with compliments and words of affirmation to convey the depth of our feelings. But what happens when the person you love cannot hear you-and will never be able to hear you? Imagine someone born into a world of silence, accustomed to the numbing rejection of society. Disturbing that silence could be overwhelming and frightening. This is the reality for Prim, a third year university student, who finds herself falling for her neighbor, Ezra-who is a hearing impaired man whose world has been shrouded with silence since birth.

An epistolary

A wedding invitation and a trip she would never forget, Clara Eleana Avalos regretted flying with him to Paris. He was relentlessly annoying and his jokes weren't even borderline funny and she was stuck with him. For a weeklong trip to a foreign country, Clara had no other choice but to be okay with his company. Besides, he's not that bad after all. He was actually accommodating, considerate, and . . . funny. He even went along with everything she wanted to do, even went to every place she wanted to visit on her itinerary. But it came as a surprise when they were mistaken for a couple. They decided to play along with the assumptions, and everything went well until their weeklong trip was over. Clara longed for his presence. She kept replaying the days they spent together in Paris. She wasn't planning on anything aside from keeping their friendship. She was already left at the altar; she doesn't want to go through it again when it only seems good at the beginning. She doesn't want someone who couldn't commit to her, but Clara never thought she'd fall in love once again. Once Again (Love in Paris # 2) Completed (2020).
