En: Martí was engrossed with the roasters, sweating slightly as he controlled the time and temperature.

Ca: La seva visió es va començar a enfosquir i abans que Adela pogués cridar-li l’atenció, Martí va caure a terra.

Ca: Als carrers, els ciutadans celebraven, gaudint d'un bonic dia de festa, mentre el torrefactor oferia un cafè únic, no per perfecció de la barreja sinó per l'alegria i serenitat de Martí i Adela, reflectides en cada tassa servida.
