Title: Fading Echoes of Autumn

Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)

Story:

Ivy’s life in the quiet town of Maple Hollow is turned upside down when Leo, the man who disappeared from her life three years ago without explanation, returns. His sudden reappearance stirs old wounds, unanswered questions, and emotions Ivy thought she’d buried. Leo confesses he left because he was overwhelmed by his feelings and fear of ruining what they had. As they confront their painful past, Ivy grapples with her anger and heartbreak while Leo seeks redemption. Through raw conversations, fragile honesty, and shared memories, they rediscover pieces of themselves. In the end, Ivy doesn’t offer easy forgiveness, but she chooses to stay, realizing that healing isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about facing it together.
