Title: The Echo of Our Hearts

Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)

Story:

Sofia Bellini never planned to return to Verona, and she certainly never expected to see Lorenzo Romano again—the man she once loved and left behind. But when fate leads her back to Café Luna, the place where their love story began, she finds him sitting at their old table, his gaze filled with memories, longing, and unanswered questions. Three years have passed, but some loves don’t fade. As they sit across from each other, the weight of the past presses down on them. Regrets surface, words they never said hang between them, and one question remains—can love survive the time lost? In a city that breathes romance, will Sofia and Lorenzo finally get their second chance, or will the past prove too much to overcome?
