Title: A Love Written in the Stars

Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)

Story:

After six years apart, Clara Fontaine never expected to see Adrien Marchand again. But fate had other plans. In the heart of Nice, under the glow of the stars, she finds herself face-to-face with the man she once loved—the man she left behind. The past comes rushing back, filled with unspoken words, regrets, and longing that never truly faded. As they dance under the night sky, old emotions resurface, forcing Clara to confront the truth she had been running from. Can love survive the distance of time? Can two hearts, once broken, find their way back to each other? Or is some love meant to remain just a beautiful memory? As the night unfolds, Clara and Adrien must make a choice—let go, or finally fight for the love that was written in the stars.
