Da: Tivoli Gardens var klædt i vinterens smukke lys.

Da: Sneen dalede blidt fra himlen, og luften var fyldt med duften af brændte mandler og varm kakao.

Da: Magnus gik hurtigt gennem menneskemængden.

Da: Hvad laver du her?"

Da: Det var Stine, hans kollega fra arbejdet.

Da: Magnus tøvede et øjeblik, men besluttede at fortælle hende alt.

Da: "Jeg har brug for din hjælp," sagde han.

Da: Stine forstod straks alvoren.
En: Stine immediately understood the gravity of the situation.

Da: "Selvfølgelig, lad os lede sammen," sagde hun og tog fat i hans arm.

Da: Da de nærmede sig den centrale sø, hvor lyshjerter var sat op på vandet, så Magnus noget ud af øjenkrogen.

Da: Han kunne konfrontere personen direkte, men det kunne skabe en scene.

Da: Stine lagde en hånd på hans skulder.
En: Stine placed a hand on his shoulder.

Da: "Vi laver en distraktion," hviskede hun.
En: "We'll create a distraction," she whispered.

Da: Mens Magnus gik tættere på, sørgede Stine for at vælte en lille taske ved et kiksebageri.
En: As Magnus moved closer, Stine made sure to knock over a small bag at a cookie bakery.

Da: Folk vendte sig om for at se på det lille optrin.
En: People turned to look at the small commotion.

Da: I det øjeblik snuppede Magnus brevet, stadig uåbnet, fra den fremmede forskrækket over tumulten.
En: At that moment, Magnus snatched the letter, still unopened, from the stranger startled by the brouhaha.

Da: Han satte hurtigt hen til Stine.
En: He quickly went back to Stine.

Da: "Lad os gå," sagde hun smilende.
En: "Let's go," she said, smiling.

Da: De gik begge mod udgangen fra de lysende haver, solen gik ned, og lyset blev stærkere omkring dem.
En: They both walked towards the exit from the illuminated gardens, the sun setting, and the lights growing stronger around them.

Da: "Tak, Stine," sagde Magnus hengivent.
En: "Thank you, Stine," said Magnus gratefully.

Da: Han indså, at han ikke altid behøvede at gøre alting selv.
En: He realized that he didn't always have to do everything himself.
