"Bound by Silence" is a heartfelt contemporary story set in the picturesque coastal town of Bermagui, Australia. It follows a quiet and introspective man who grapples with unspoken love for Sophia Rivers, a vibrant and outgoing local schoolteacher. While she brings life and color to their small, tightly knit town, he remains a shadow on the periphery-dreaming, longing, but paralyzed by his own self-doubt. With the weight of his unsent letters and a life that feels stuck between the waves of the sea and the walls of his restaurant job, the protagonist embarks on a journey of introspection, courage, and the bittersweet struggle of unrequited love. As the town's salty breeze stirs memories and emotions, Bound by Silence explores themes of longing, identity, and the courage it takes to break free from the confines of silence and live one's truth.All Rights Reserved

Lizzy, casually peeking outside, notices a boy with his family. At first, he seems like just another loud neighbor, someone who doesn't mean much to her life. But little does she know, this fleeting encounter with Zephyr will become the defining moment of her existence.

Their connection, filled with quiet moments and stolen glances, eventually blossoms into a love that neither of them ever anticipated. Yet, Lizzy's love for him never fades. Despite his insistence that she move on, Lizzy refuses to let go, fighting to stay by his side. But as Zephyr continues to hide the truth, Lizzy is left to face the harsh reality of the love they shared-until one fateful day when Zephyr's condition reaches its end, and Lizzy finds out the devastating truth too late. In a heart-wrenching twist, Lizzy is forced to say goodbye to the love of her life, only to discover that Zephyr had been carrying the weight of his illness alone, hoping to protect her from the pain he didn't want her to witness. Through a letter Zephyr left behind, Lizzy learns that from the very first moment they met, he had already fallen in love with her. This is a story that explores the depths of love, the heartbreaking decisions we make to protect those we care about, and the unyielding power of memories that stay with us forever. Though their time together was cut tragically short, Zephyr and Lizzy's love proves that even in death, love doesn't die-it endures, living on in the hearts of those who remain.
