I lost my hearing saving my boyfriend Santiago. Two weeks before the wedding, I regained it, and the first thing I heard him say was, “Dora, I’m done with Susanna’s guilt trips. I want you. If she forces me to marry her, I’ll run from the wedding to prove it.” Seconds later, Dorothy called me on Santiago’s phone, and I heard their heavy breathing. Santiago tried to hang up in a panic, but Dorothy held the phone, laughing. “What are you afraid of? She’s deaf anyway. Isn’t this more exciting?” Hearing the disgusting moans through the speaker, I hit record, my heart breaking. On the day of the wedding, I bought a plane ticket to London. When Santiago called asking where I was, I sent him the recording. “Santiago, my hearing’s back.”

Through the phone, I heard their heavy breathing.

Santiago tried to hang up in a panic, but Dorothy held up the phone and laughed. "What are you afraid of? She's deaf anyway. Besides, doesn't this make it more exciting?"

Listening to the disgusting moans spilling through the speaker, I hit record, my heart shattering into countless pieces.
