It: "Non pensavo di rivederti qui."
En: "I didn't think I'd see you here."

It: "Ciao, Giulia," rispose Luca, la voce appena un sussurro.

It: Parlarono del tempo, della bellezza del posto, evitando il vero motivo della loro tensione.

It: Giulia annuì, le parole di Luca offrivano la chiarezza che aveva cercato.
En: Giulia nodded, Luca's words offering the clarity she had been seeking.

It: "Tutto questo tempo," disse piano, "ho voluto sapere il perché.
