It: In una fredda mattina d'inverno, il sole si alzava lentamente sul magnifico panorama della Costiera Amalfitana.

It: Mentre camminavano lungo il sentiero verso Ravello, una sensazione strana iniziò a crescere in Giulia.

It: Il suo cuore batteva forte.

It: "Devi sederti", disse, cercando di mantenere la calma.
En: "You need to sit down," he said, trying to stay calm.

It: Mentre il caos del Carnevale riempiva le strade, Alessandro sapeva di dover agire in fretta.
En: While the chaos of the Carnival filled the streets, Alessandro knew he had to act quickly.

It: Non poteva aspettare l'ambulanza turistica.
En: He couldn't wait for the tourist ambulance.

It: Doveva trovare aiuto subito.
En: He had to find help immediately.

It: Ricordò di aver visto un piccolo studio medico non lontano da lì.

It: Sapeva che Marco, il dottore locale, era ben preparato per gestire situazioni d'emergenza.

It: Pochi minuti dopo, la situazione sembrava sotto controllo.
En: A few minutes later, the situation seemed under control.

It: "È stato solo un piccolo malore", rassicurò Marco, "ma è meglio essere cauti."

It: Con Giulia finalmente al sicuro, Alessandro si rese conto di quanto fossero preziosi quei momenti.

It: "Grazie," disse Giulia, prendendo la mano di Alessandro.

It: "Grazie per aver chiesto aiuto."
En: "Thank you for asking for help."

It: Alessandro sorrise, mentre la paura di perderla svaniva lentamente.

It: Aveva imparato una lezione importante: permettere agli altri di aiutare a volte è l'azione più forte.
