Da: Da tiden endelig nærmede sig, sad Emil i et fly med hjertet fuld af længsel og en lille gave i tasken.
En: As the time finally approached, Emil sat on a plane with his heart full of longing and a small gift in his bag.

Da: Det var en simpel charm, der bar symbolikken fra deres tid sammen i København – en reminder om de mange spadsereture langs søerne og de lange aftener på sofaen med kaffe og...
