var smittende.En: Søren smiled faintly, still reserved, but her openness and courage were infectious.Da: "Det er fantastisk," svarede han, stemmen noget rusten efter manglende selskab.En: "It's fantastic," he replied, his voice somewhat rusty from lack of company.Da: De talte.En: They talked.Da: Om musikken, om byen, om livet.En: About the music, about the city, about life.Da: Stykke for

grebet af øjeblikket.En: He hesitated but then followed, caught up in the moment.Da: Musikken svang omkring dem, og det føltes som om resten af verden forsvandt.En: The music swirled around them, and it felt like the rest of the world disappeared.Da: Da musikken stilnede, så de på hinanden med nye øjne.En: When the music faded, they looked at each other with new eyes.Da: "Vil du med til koncert i næste uge?"En: "Would you like to come to a concert next week?"Da: spurgte Astrid, nu fast besluttet på at forlange mere af dette nyfundne bånd.En: Astrid asked, now determined to demand more of this newfound bond.Da: Søren tøvede ikke længere.En: Søren no longer hesitated.Da: "Ja, meget gerne," svarede han, varmere end han havde følt sig i månedsvis.En: "Yes, very much," he replied, feeling
