No: Lars følte hvordan pulsen økte.
En: Lars felt his pulse quicken.
No: Dette var hans øyeblikk for å vise at han kunne klare det.
En: This was his moment to prove he could do it.
No: Han tok et dypt pust og begynte å brygge kritikerens favorittdrikk, en spesialitet han ofte hadde forberedt tidligere.
