It: Non voleva interferire, anche se il cuore gli diceva altrimenti.

It: Si fermò sotto un ponte antico, l'atmosfera calma e incantevole.

It: "Gianna," iniziò con voce tremante, "non posso ignorare quello che sento. Tu sei... speciale."

It: Gianna lo guardò, sorpresa ma colpita dalla sincerità di Luca.
En: Gianna looked at him, surprised but moved by Luca's sincerity.

It: Mentre le parole di lui fluttuavano nell'aria, Matteo dall'altra parte del canale, sul suo remo, rimase immobile.
En: As his words floated in the air, Matteo, on the other side of the canal with his oar, remained still.

It: Sapeva che quel momento era importante per il suo amico.
