Da: Snefnug faldt blidt over København.

Da: Gaderne var stille.
En: The streets were quiet.

Da: Freja trådte forsigtigt ind i butikken.

Da: Hendes kinder var røde af kulden.
En: Her cheeks were red from the cold.

Da: Hun rystede sneen fra sit hår og spejdede rundt efter et ledigt bord.

En: Jens was already sitting at a corner table.

Da: Hans næse var dybt begravet i en bog om arkitekturens hemmeligheder.
En: His nose was deeply buried in a book about the secrets of architecture.

Da: Det var lidt af en flugt fra hans verden af parametre og koder.
En: It was a bit of an escape from his world of parameters and codes.

Da: Lydløst kiggede han op.
En: Silently, he looked up.

Da: Freja fangede hans blik, men han så hurtigt tilbage til sine sider.
En: Freja caught his gaze, but he quickly glanced back to his pages.

Da: Alligevel følte han en ukendt længsel, noget der krævede hans opmærksomhed uden for de tekniske tekster.
En: Yet he felt an unfamiliar longing, something requiring his attention beyond the technical texts.

Da: Efter at have købt en dampende kop krydret chai satte Freja sig ned ved bordet ved siden af Jens.
En: After purchasing a steaming cup of spiced chai, Freja sat down at the table next to Jens.

Da: Hendes øjne faldt mod hans bog.
En: Her eyes fell on his book.

Da: "Arkitektur.
En: "Architecture...

Da: jeg troede, det var en tør disciplin," bemærkede hun med et lille smil og prøvede at bryde isen.
En: I thought it was a dry discipline," she remarked with a small smile, trying to break the ice.

Da: Jens så op, overrasket over bemærkningen.
En: Jens looked up, surprised by the comment.

Da: "Måske kan det virke sådan," indrømmede han.
En: "Maybe it seems that way," he admitted.

Da: "Men det handler også om skønhed og struktur.
En: "But it's also about beauty and structure.

Da: Ligesom kunst.

Da: ""Ah," sagde Freja, og hendes øjne lyste op.
En: "Ah," said Freja, her eyes lighting up.

Da: "Jeg prøver at finde vintertemaet i København til min kunst.

Da: Hvordan byen var som et lærred, både for kunst og teknik.

Da: Jens fandt pludselig ordene, han normalt holdt tilbage, rullede ud, og Freja blev fanget af hans synspunkter.
En: Jens suddenly found the words he usually held back rolling out, and Freja was captivated by his viewpoints.

Da: Hun så nu bygninger som figurer i en dans.

Da: Hendes skridt gennem sneen var lettere, hendes mål blev klarere.
En: Her steps through the snow were lighter, her goals clearer.

Da: Jens gik sin vej med en ny forståelse.
En: Jens walked away with a new understanding.

Da: Ikke alt kunne måles eller vejes.
En: Not everything could be measured or weighed.

Da: Nogle gange krævedes det forbindelse for at skabe mening, selv for ham.
En: Sometimes, connection was needed to create meaning, even for him.

Da: Himlen begyndte at klare op, mens de gik hver til sit.
