Da: Han tænkte tilbage på de lange aftener, hvor Katrine tog sig af alt derhjemme.
En: He thought back to the long evenings when Katrine handled everything at home.

Da: Lars håbede, at han kunne genopbygge deres relation.

Da: Lars kunne se tvivlen i hans øjne.
En: Lars could see the doubt in his eyes.

Da: Han skyndte sig frem.
En: He hurried forward.

Da: "Emil, min dreng," sagde Lars og bøjede sig ned for at få øjenkontakt.
En: "Emil, my boy," said Lars, bending down to make eye contact.

Da: "Jeg er ked af det.
En: "I'm sorry.

Da: Jeg har savnet dig mere end ord kan sige."
En: I've missed you more than words can say."

Da: Emil tøvede et øjeblik, men så faldt han pludseligt i Lars' arme.

Da: Katrine nikkede og smilede gennem tårer.
En: Katrine nodded and smiled...
