Title: Lost Letters of Paris

Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)

Story:

Elena Moreau never meant to come back to Paris, and she certainly never meant to find the letter she had once overlooked—the letter that could have changed everything. Five years ago, Julien Beaumont had asked her to meet him at a café at midnight. She never came. Now, standing at that very café, she sees the impossible—Julien is still there. But time has passed, and love that was once certain is now tangled in regrets, unspoken words, and the painful question: is it too late? As old emotions resurface and the weight of the past threatens to pull them apart once more, Elena and Julien must decide—does love wait, or does it fade? With emotions raw and hearts uncertain, they sit down at a table where a love story was once abandoned… and maybe, just maybe, is about to begin again.
