About this episode

Title: The Letters We Never Sent

Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)

Story:

Mara returns to her childhood home in Ridgewood, a small town filled with memories she tried to forget. Among them is Elias, the boy she loved—the one who left without warning six years ago. As fate would have it, he’s back too. Their unexpected reunion reopens old wounds, but when Elias discovers the letters Mara wrote but never sent, the truth of their past comes crashing back. He admits that he wrote to her too but never had the courage to send his letters either. Now, standing face to face with the emotions they had both buried for years, they must decide whether love is something that fades with time or if some stories are meant to be rewritten.
