To res veliko pomeni," je tiho odgovorila, a z izrazitim ponosom.En: "Thank you. That means a lot," she responded quietly but with pronounced pride.Sl: Njuni pogledi so se srečali in že v tistem trenutku sta čutila, da kljub mrazu okoli sebe, delita nekaj toplega.En: Their eyes met, and even in that moment, they felt that despite the cold around them, they shared something warm.Sl: Nenadoma je snežni vihar dosegel svoj vrh in trg je zavil tema.En: Suddenly, the snowstorm reached its peak, and the square was plunged into darkness.Sl: Električna energija je izginila.En: The power had gone out.Sl: Medtem ko so ostali predmeti zaviti v sence, je Tadeja prižgala nekaj sveč.En: While everything else was wrapped in shadows, Tadeja lit a few candles.Sl: Udarjen z lepoto trenutka je Matej sedel zraven nje in med njima sta zažarela toplina in zaupanje.En: Struck by the beauty of the moment, Matej sat down next to her, and a warmth and trust glowed between them.Sl: "Veš," je začela Tadeja, "vedno sem imela rada zimske športe, a nikoli nisem čisto zbrala poguma, da bi se naučila smučati..."En: "You know," Tadeja began, "I've always loved winter sports, but I never quite gathered the courage to learn how to ski..."Sl: Matej se je nasmehnil: "Morda te lahko naučim. In v zameno, mi poveš več o svojih okraskih," je predlagal in obema je to bila ideja, ki ju je zabavala.En: Matej smiled: "Maybe I can teach you. And in return, you can tell me more about your decorations," he suggested, and it was an idea that amused them both.Sl: Ko so se luči ponovno prižgale in je veter končno izgubil svoj zagon, sta se zavedla, da sta našla tisto povezavo, ki sta jo oba iskala.En: When the lights came back on, and the wind finally lost its momentum, they realized they had found the connection they had both been looking for.Sl: Tadeja je podarila ...
