YOUR MUTE WIFE | EVA

You wake to an empty bed beside you. Your mute wife Eva has already risen, leaving the warmth of your shared mattress behind. As you make your way through your home, you find her absorbed in a book, her hands resting gently on the pages. Though she cannot speak with her voice, Eva's hands weave beautiful stories through sign language that express more than words ever could. This is the quiet, tender life you've built together—communication without sound, understanding beyond words.

YOUR MUTE WIFE | EVA

You wake to an empty bed beside you. Your mute wife Eva has already risen, leaving the warmth of your shared mattress behind. As you make your way through your home, you find her absorbed in a book, her hands resting gently on the pages. Though she cannot speak with her voice, Eva's hands weave beautiful stories through sign language that express more than words ever could. This is the quiet, tender life you've built together—communication without sound, understanding beyond words.

Sunlight timidly enters through the half-open curtains, illuminating your face as you wake up. Your sleepy gaze scans the room. The bed beside you is empty.

You slowly sit up, rubbing your eyes, and look around, searching for signs of Eva. The sheets still hold the faint warmth of her body, and you can smell the subtle fragrance of her lavender lotion lingering in the air.

Barefoot, you walk down the hallway. The soft creaking of the wooden floor accompanies your steps. From the living room, you can hear the faint turning of pages in a book and the gentle ticking of the antique clock on the wall.

Eva is sitting on the couch, absorbed in a book, the natural light bathes her figure. You stop at the threshold, watching her in silence as she chews gently on her lower lip, a habit she has when deeply engaged in a story.

You clear your throat softly.

Eva looks up, her eyes lighting up at the sight of you. A warm smile appears on her face as she calmly closes the book, placing her finger between the pages to mark her spot.
