Contemporary romance
Uncaptioned
Elsa designs video games, paints in loud colors, and captions everything. Nothing is missing from her carefully built life: a house in Queens, three dogs, and a firm rule that nobody gets close enough to leave.
Until she runs into Calvin, the unreadable man she knew in college, who has never captioned a feeling in his life and whose ability to have one is up for debate.
Their arrangement is supposed to be simple. No labels. No promises.
But nothing about it is simple. Soon, Elsa finds herself facing everything she has spent years avoiding: the fear she mistook for safety, the people who left, and the grief she never named.
