Title: Whispers in the Rain

Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)


Story:

Amelia and Leo meet by chance at a small bus stop on a rainy evening. Their simple conversation, sparked by the weather and a late bus, turns into an unexpected connection. As days pass, fate seems to bring them together again and again. Their bond deepens through shared commutes, spontaneous adventures, and heartfelt conversations, weaving a story of friendship and love. Despite Amelia's fear of vulnerability due to past heartbreaks, Leo’s presence becomes her comfort, much like the rain that first brought them together. Their relationship blossoms through small, meaningful moments until Leo proposes with a vintage postcard, a symbol of their beautiful, serendipitous journey. Their love story, rooted in the simplicity of rain and chance, shows how unexpected meetings can change lives forever.
