Title: Whispers of the OceanLevel: Intermediate (B1-B2)


Story:

Isla Moreau never thought she would return to Saint-Lunaire, the coastal town where she had once left behind the only love that ever felt real. Five years ago, she walked away from Theo Laurent, believing their love was too much, too overwhelming—like the tides, pulling her under. But time has a way of calling people back to what was left unfinished. When she sees Theo again, standing by his sailboat, the weight of their past crashes over her like a rising tide. He does not speak. He does not welcome her back. But his silence holds all the words they never said. As the ocean whispers between them, Isla must decide—walk away again, or finally stay and face the love that never left.
