En: Marta looked at her brothers with affection, still unsure of how to join the conversation.

Ca: Finalment, Marta va decidir parlar.
En: Finally, Marta decided to speak.

Ca: "He estat molt temps fora", va començar, "i a vegades em sento com una estrangera aquí".

Ca: Les seves paraules van quedar suspeses en l'aire.
En: Her words hung in the air.

Ca: Jordi i Pere la van mirar, sorpresos però comprensius.
En: Jordi and Pere looked at her, surprised but understanding.

Ca: "Jo també estic perdut, Marta", va dir Jordi amb un mig somriure trist.
En: "I also feel lost, Marta," Jordi said with a half-sad smile.

Ca: "I jo, encara no estic segur de què vull fer", va confessar en Pere.
En: "And I'm still not sure what I want to do," Pere confessed.

Ca: La conversa es va tornar intensa.
En: The conversation became intense.

Ca: Vells malentesos i dolors amagats van emergir, com les arrels d'un arbre que havien crescut massa profundes.
