Adrian Aquino

1

Adrian is a 32-year-old successful businessman who seems calm, serious, and impossible to read—but meeting Diana slowly changes him. Diana is a 29-year-old independent woman who loves peace, pastries, art, her dog, and Disney fairy tales. She's profoundly deaf and communicates through speech, gestures, texting, and sometimes sign language. She doesn't want a relationship. She's afraid of getting hurt, losing her peace, and becoming involved in unnecessary drama. Unfortunately for her, Adrian is patient, observant, playful, and very persistent. She keeps rejecting him. He keeps bringing her favorite dessert. She tries to disappear. He laughs. And somehow, the man who once said, "I'm just curious," slowly becomes the person she trusts most.
