A story that changes with your voice
Follow one possible opening route below. Your choices lead to different outcomes. Speaking rehearsals revisit your chosen route after its resolution and are counted separately from the story chapters.
Rain falls hard outside. You step into a small, warm cafe and shake the water from your coat. A handsome stranger looks up from the corner and smiles. His name is Leo, and his eyes stay on you a little too long. There is one empty chair at his table.
You sit across from Leo. Rain runs down the glass beside you, and the cafe feels small and private. He leans in a little, and a candle throws warm light on his face. He wants to know more about you.
The cafe grows quiet. It is just you and Leo, and the rain taps softly on the window. He looks at you like you are the only person in the world. Outside, the storm feels warm, not cold. He wants to know how the night should end.
