The Lighthouse Keepers

C1

Emma and Rachel had been friends since they were children, growing up in a small coastal village. They spent countless summers exploring the old lighthouse that stood on the edge of town, dreaming of adventures far away. Rachel loved the sea and always talked about becoming a marine biologist, while Emma wanted to be a writer. As they grew older, Rachel’s dreams took her to a prestigious university abroad, while Emma stayed behind, writing stories inspired by their shared childhood. They promised to write letters, but life grew busy, and their correspondence dwindled. Years later, Rachel returned for a visit, but things felt different. Emma had become quiet and reserved, while Rachel was full of stories about her travels. One evening, they revisited the lighthouse and spent hours reminiscing. They realized that while their lives had diverged, their bond remained. When Rachel left again, Emma gave her a collection of stories she had written about their adventures. Rachel promised to read every word, and this time, they kept their promise to stay in touch. Emma’s stories eventually became a published book, and Rachel found inspiration in them to start her own marine conservation project.
