Title: Whispers of the Forgotten Lake

Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)

Story:

Clara has spent years haunted by the sudden disappearance of Noah, the man who left her without explanation at the edge of Lake Merrow, a place filled with shared memories. Five years later, Noah reappears from the mist, carrying nothing but regret and unspoken truths. Their reunion is tense, filled with unresolved emotions and questions left unanswered. As they cautiously rebuild their connection, Noah admits he left because of his own struggles—fear, depression, and a belief that disappearing would protect Clara from his brokenness. Through hesitant conversations, quiet moments, and the rawness of their shared past, they learn that healing doesn’t mean forgetting. Their story unfolds against the misty backdrop of the lake, where forgiveness is found not in grand gestures but in the courage to face what was left unsaid.
