Title: The Way Back to You

Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)

Story:

Lillian Parker returns to her small coastal hometown of Everbrook, thinking it’s just a visit. But deep down, she knows the truth—she’s back because of Ethan Carter, the man she once loved and left behind. Years ago, she believed leaving was the only way to chase her dreams, even if it meant breaking both their hearts. But as she walks the familiar docks and hears Ethan say, “I would have waited”, she realizes that maybe she had been running from the one thing she truly needed. Through quiet walks by the shore, stolen glances, and memories that never faded, Lillian and Ethan must decide—can love survive time and distance? Or was it always meant to bring them back to each other?
