About this episode

Title: A Melody Between Us

Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)

Story:

Five years ago, Eleanor Sterling walked away from Sebastian Wolfe, leaving behind not just their love but the music that had once bound them together. Now, fate brings her back to Prague, where she stumbles upon his performance, the haunting melody of his violin pulling her into a past she thought she had buried. As the music fills the grand concert hall, memories resurface, forcing Eleanor to confront the feelings she never truly left behind. When she comes face to face with Sebastian after all these years, the silence between them speaks louder than words. Can love, like music, be picked up where it left off? Or are some songs meant to remain unfinished? As their emotions reach a crescendo, Eleanor must decide—run again, or finally stay and let the music play on.



Vocabulary:

  2. Intimate – deeply personal and emotional.
  3. Hitch – to pause or falter slightly.
  4. Unfinished – incomplete, left unresolved.
