Title: Echoes of the Night
Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)
Story:
Two years after Adrian disappeared from Lena’s life without a word, she unexpectedly finds herself outside his apartment on a quiet autumn night. She tells herself it’s an accident, but deep down, she knows the truth—she never truly let go. When Adrian steps into the cold night and their eyes meet, old wounds resurface. He confesses that leaving was never about not loving her, but about fearing that he wasn’t enough. Lena, torn between anger and the undeniable pull of the past, struggles with the idea of trusting him again. Through silent gestures, shared memories, and quiet persistence, Adrian tries to prove that he won’t walk away this time. As winter settles over the city, Lena must decide if she’s willing to give love a second chance. Sometimes, healing isn’t about forgetting—it’s about choosing to believe in something new.
