Title: Moonlight and Magnolia

Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)

Story:

On the eve of her engagement, Serena finds herself questioning everything when Julian, the man she once loved, unexpectedly reappears. In the warm, magnolia-scented air of Charleston, old emotions resurface, forcing her to confront the truth she had buried. Julian tells her he never stopped loving her, but Serena is caught between the life she’s carefully built and the reckless, all-consuming passion she once shared with him. As the weight of her impending marriage presses down on her, she must decide: is love about stability, or is it about following the heart, no matter the risk? Under the glow of moonlight and the whispers of the past, Serena realizes that some loves never truly fade—they wait for the right moment to be reclaimed.
