Title: Second Chances

Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)


Story:

Mia stumbles upon a small café named "Second Chances"—a place that once comforted her after a heartbreak. Years later, fate leads her back there, where she unexpectedly meets Alex, her former love. Their reunion is filled with awkward small talk, nostalgic memories, and the quiet realization that time has changed them both. As they spend more time together, exploring the city, sharing stories, and reliving old memories, they discover that their connection never truly faded. Through laughter, heartfelt conversations, and moments of vulnerability, they rebuild a love that is stronger and wiser. Eventually, their relationship blossoms, leading to a heartfelt proposal in the very café where it all began. Their journey is a testament to growth, forgiveness, and the beauty of second chances.
