En: Spring painted Ljubljana in vibrant colors. Sl: Na ljubljanskem gradu, ki se je bohotil na vrhu hriba, so cveteli drevesa. En: At the Ljubljanski grad, which boasted atop the hill, the trees were in bloom. Sl: Tanja in Blaž sta se končno srečala, da se poslovita. En: Tanja and Blaž finally met to say goodbye. Sl: Med njima je vladala tišina, prežeta z neizgovorjenimi občutki. En: A silence reigned between them, filled with unspoken emotions. Sl: Sedla sta na klop ob razgledni ploščadi. En: They sat on a bench by the viewing platform. Sl: Pogled na mesto pod njim je bil veličasten. En: The view of the city beneath them was magnificent. Sl: Blaž je globoko vdihnil sveži pomladanski zrak. En: Blaž took a deep breath of the fresh spring air. Sl: "Ljubljana je čudovita," je dejal. En: "Ljubljana is beautiful," he said. Sl: Tanja je prikimala, vendar njene misli niso bile pri razgledu. En: Tanja nodded, but her thoughts were not on the view. Sl: "Tanja, si se kdaj spraševala, kam nas življenje vodi?" je nenadoma vprašal Blaž, njegovi oči so se zataknile na njenem obrazu. En: "Tanja, have you ever wondered where life is taking us?" Blaž suddenly asked, his eyes lingering on her face. Sl: V njej se je prebudil strah, a tudi upanje. En: Fear awakened within her, but so did hope. Sl: Bila je to njena priložnost. En: This was her opportunity. Sl: "Kaj misliš s tem?" je previdno vprašala. En: "What do you mean by that?" she cautiously asked. Sl: Blaž je gledal preko mestnih streh, kot da bi iskal odgovore. En: Blaž looked over the city rooftops, as if searching for answers. Sl: "Mislil sem, da bi se pogovorila, preden grem. En: "I thought we should talk before I leave. Sl: Tanja, pomeniva mi veliko več, kot si lahko misliš." Njegove besede so bile kot megla, skozi katero se je Tanja morala prebiti. En: Tanja, you mean much more to me than you can imagine." His words were like a fog through which Tanja had to find her way. Sl: Zadrhtel je veter in razpihnil cvetne liste okoli njiju. En: The wind shivered and blew flower petals around them. Sl: Tanja se je končno odločila. En: Tanja finally made her decision. Sl: "Blaž, nočem te izgubiti. En: "Blaž, I don't want to lose you. Sl: Dolgo sem te imela za prijatelja... Ampak vedno sem si želela več," je priznala in se zazrla v svoja čevlja. En: I've considered you a friend for a long time... but I've always wanted more," she admitted, staring at her shoes. Sl: Blaž jo je pogledal z neizmernim presenečenjem in olajšanjem. En: Blaž looked at her with immense surprise and relief. Sl: "Jaz tudi. En: "Me too. Sl: Želel sem ti reči enako." En: I wanted to tell you the same." Sl: Ko sta stala tam, objeti, je Tanja začutila, kako izginja vsa napetost. En: As they stood there, embraced, Tanja felt all the tension fade away. Sl: On je moral oditi, a zdaj sta bila oba prepričana, da je med njima nekaj, kar ju bo povezovalo. En: He had to leave, but now they were both sure there was something between them that would connect them. Sl: Obljubila sta si pisati, si govoriti, se obiskovati. En: They promised to write, to talk, to visit. Sl: Gradova sta snaprej gledala nad mestom, kot stražarja njune nove prihodnosti. En: The castle continued to overlook the city, like a guardian of their new future. Sl: Blizu, vendar zdaj s srcem, ki je pripadalo ljubezni. En: Close, but now with hearts that belonged to love. Sl: Pomlad v Ljubljani jima je podarila nekaj novega, nekaj neskončno dragocenega. En: Spring in Ljubljana had given them something new, something infinitely precious.
