En: Laia looked at him with eyes full of affection.

Ca: "Entenc com et sents, Martí, però hem de pensar-ho bé.
En: "I understand how you feel, Martí, but we need to think it through.

Ca: Podríem començar visitant-nos més sovint, descobrir si som fets l'un per l'altre en el dia a dia.

Ca: És important per mi sentir que som prou forts per superar qualsevol dificultat.

Ca: "Martí va sentir com el batre del seu cor es calmava davant la calma de Laia.

Ca: "La teva idea és sensata, Laia.
