Pb: Os dois correram para um quiosque na praia, rindo enquanto se abrigavam. En: The two ran to a kiosk on the beach, laughing as they took shelter. Pb: Estavam molhados, mas havia algo mágico no som do trovão e nas gotas grossas caindo ao redor.

Pb: disse ele, olhando nos olhos dela com ternura. En: he said, looking into her eyes with tenderness. Pb: Mariana ficou surpresa. En: Mariana was surprised. Pb: O barulho do trovão fez seu coração pular, mas ao ver Lucas ali, tão sincero, as dúvidas começaram a dissipar.

Pb: O mundo ao redor deles desapareceu, e ela percebeu que, apesar do medo, ela realmente queria estar ao lado dele.

En: She looked at the rain and thought about how unpredictable life was. Pb: Decidiu deixar de lado suas incertezas. En: She decided to set aside her uncertainties. Pb: "Sim, eu quero," respondeu, sorrindo, enquanto o brilho da felicidade iluminava seu rosto. En: "Yes, I do," she replied, smiling, as the glow of happiness illuminated her face. Pb: Lucas colocou o anel em seu dedo, e os dois se abraçaram. En: Lucas placed the ring on her finger, and the two embraced.
