Da: Ikke lang tid efter kom Astrid løbende hen mod dem.
En: Not long after, Astrid came running toward them.

Da: Håret blæste vildt, øjnene skinnede af den typiske beslutsomhed.
En: Her hair blew wildly, her eyes shining with typical determination.

Da: Freja samlede mod og smilede.

Da: "Ja, jeg husker, hvor meget vi brugte at elske at komme her."

En: They walked around, tried some of the rides, and shared a bowl of cotton candy.

Da: Alligevel svævede samtalen mellem dem, mættet af det usagte.
En: Still, the conversation hovered between them, laden with the unspoken.

Da: Til sidst, ved karussellen, stansede Freja.
En: Finally, at the carousel, Freja stopped.
