Da: Astrid tog en dyb indånding, da hun gik hen mod caféen.

En: "It's been so long."

Da: "Hej Astrid," svarede Lars.
En: "Hello Astrid," replied Lars.

Da: "Det er godt at se dig."
En: "It's good to see you."

Da: De kiggede på hinanden, lidt usikre.
En: They looked at each other, a bit unsure.

Da: Tid og afstand havde skabt en mur af tavshed.

Da: Hun ville række ud.
En: She wanted to reach out.

Da: Hun ville bryde muren.
En: She wanted to break the wall.

Da: "Jeg har lært meget," sagde hun stille.
En: "I have learned a lot," she said quietly.

Da: "Det var ikke altid nemt.
En: "It wasn't always easy.

Da: Der var ensomme stunder."
En: There were lonely moments."

Da: Lars nikkede.
En: Lars nodded.

Da: "Jeg har haft mine egne udfordringer," sagde han.
En: "I have had my own challenges," he said.

Da: "Jeg har haft svært ved at skrive.
En: "I have struggled with writing.

Da: Ordene kommer ikke."
En: The words don't come."

Da: Deres samtale var som først nogle skridt af en dans, tøvende, men begyndte at finde rytmen.

Da: Hun talte om succeserne og de stille øjeblikke af tvivl.
En: She spoke about the successes and the quiet moments of doubt.

Da: Lars lyttede, fascineret og opmuntret.
En: Lars listened, fascinated and encouraged.

Da: "Jeg troede, at din succes ville gøre os fjerne," indrømmede Lars pludselig.
En: "I thought your success would make us distant," Lars suddenly admitted.

Da: "Jeg var bange for, at vi ikke kunne finde tilbage."
En: "I was afraid we wouldn't find our way back."

Da: Astrids øjne blev blide.
En: Astrid's eyes became gentle.

Da: "Jeg tænkte, du ville have glemt mig," svarede hun.
En: "I thought you would have forgotten me," she replied.

Da: "Jeg var bange for, at min afstand havde skilt os."

Da: En dybere forståelse voksede mellem dem, og de opdagede, at deres bånd stadig var stærkt.
En: A deeper understanding grew between them, and they discovered that their bond was still strong.

Da: "Denne gang vil jeg være mere åben," sagde Astrid beslutsomt.
En: "This time I will be more open," said Astrid decisively.

Da: "Jeg værdsætter vores venskab for meget til at lade det gå tabt."
En: "I value our friendship too much to let it be lost."

Da: "Og jeg vil finde inspiration i vores samtaler," tilføjede Lars med et smil.
En: "And I will find inspiration in our conversations," added Lars with a smile.

Da: "Måske vil dine historier blive min næste bog."
En: "Maybe your stories will become my next book."

Da: Aftenen fortsatte med latter og reminiscing.
En: The evening continued with laughter and reminiscing.

Da: De lovede at støtte hinanden, hvad end livet måtte bringe.
En: They promised to support each other, no matter what life might bring.
