Title: Beneath the Starlit Sky

Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)

Story:

Isla has always dreamed of leaving her small lakeside town and chasing something bigger. But leaving means walking away from Noah, the boy who has loved her for as long as she can remember. On her last night before moving to the city, Noah asks her one simple question: “Do you love me enough to stay?” Isla’s heart aches with the truth—she loves him, but she cannot give up on her dreams. She leaves, believing time and distance will make things easier. Two years later, fate brings her back to the lake, where Noah is still there, waiting—perhaps not for her, but for closure. However, a sudden accident on the dock forces them together once more, breaking the walls they had both built. In the moonlit water, Isla realizes that some loves never fade—they wait, like the stars above, unchanging and eternal.
