Title: Beneath the Moonlit Sky

Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)

Story:

After three years away, Isabella Moretti returns to Florence, the city where she left behind the only man she ever truly loved—Luca De Santis. She never meant to return, but when an invitation from Luca arrives, asking for nothing more than a meeting, she can’t resist the pull of what they once had. Time has passed, but love still lingers. Inside his art gallery, she finds something she never expected—paintings of her, captured in moments he never let go. As old wounds resurface and unspoken words finally find their voice, Isabella and Luca must decide if love can truly wait… or if some hearts are meant to find their way back, no matter how long it takes. Under the moonlit sky, can they rewrite their ending?
