En: Her goal of avoiding conversation slowly faded.

It: "Sei un artista?"
En: "Are you an artist?"

It: "Sì, o almeno ci provo.

It: "Mi piacerebbe continuare a parlare, ma sembra che sia il momento di partire," disse Alessia con una punta di dispiacere.

It: "Sì, è così," concordò Luca, ma con una nota di speranza.
En: "Yes, it is," agreed Luca, but with a note of hope.
