Da: Kirsten stopper ved en lille café og peger på menuen.

Da: "Skal vi tage en pause?"

En: Søren nods and tries to calm his nerves.

Da: Indenfor lyden af skramlende kopper og lavmælt snak.

Da: De snakker om dagen, indtil Søren ser ud ad vinduet; regndråber begynder at prikke mod ruden.
En: They talk about the day until Søren looks out the window; raindrops begin to dot the pane.

Da: Tidspunktet er kommet.
En: The moment has come.

Da: Han læner sig frem, den lille afgørelse brager i hans hjerte.
En: He leans forward, the little decision booming in his heart.

Da: "Kirsten," siger han, hans stemme lav men bestemt.
En: "Kirsten," he says, his voice low but firm.

Da: Hun kigger op, en anelse overrasket over hans alvorlige tone.
En: She looks up, slightly surprised by his serious tone.

Da: "Jeg har tænkt på noget i lang tid," fortsætter han.
En: "I've been thinking about something for a long time," he continues.

Da: Udenfor intensiveres regnen, men Søren føler sig stærkere.
En: Outside, the rain intensifies, but Søren feels stronger.

Da: "Vi har det så godt sammen.
En: "We are so good together.

Da: Jeg vil gerne have, at vi flytter ind sammen.

Da: Hvad synes du?"
En: What do you think?"

Da: De første ord, der kommer fra hendes læber, er fyldt med glæde.
En: The first words that come from her lips are filled with joy.

Da: "Ja, selvfølgelig, det vil jeg!"
