Ca: La partida de pòquer era d'alt risc, i l'últim guanyador s'havia endut un munt de diners.

En: Every player, including Pau, his best friend, looked at each other with distrust.
Ca: Les sospites creixien.

Ca: Jordi ho sabia bé: per resoldre el misteri, havia de fer veure que estava concentrat en el joc.

Ca: Al seu voltant, les cartes es repartien, mentre ell escoltava el silenci.
En: Around him, the cards were dealt while he listened to the silence.
Ca: La seva ment estava sempre alerta.
En: His mind was always alert.
Ca: Durant un moment tens al joc, Jordi va veure quelcom intrèpid: un lleuger canvi en l'expressió de Núria.
En: During a tense moment in the game, Jordi saw something bold: a slight change in Núria's expression.
Ca: Les seves mans van tremolar per un instant, un gest que només un ull entrenat hauria capturat.
En: Her hands trembled for an instant, a gesture that only a trained eye would have caught.
Ca: Aquell petit gest era una confessió silenciosa.

En: After the game, Jordi approached Núria.
Ca: Amb veu baixa, però ferma, va compartir el que havia observat.
En: In a low yet firm voice, he shared what he had observed.
Ca: "Sé que has agafat els diners," li va dir.
En: "I know you took the money," he said.
Ca: La veritat va pesar sobre Núria, que, amb Llàgrimes d'incertesa, va assentir.
En: The truth weighed on...
