No: "Jeg har tenkt mye den siste tiden," fortsatte han og kikket ut mot den glitrende vannflaten for styrke.

No: "Om oss. Om fremtiden. Jeg vil ikke miste kontakten med deg nÄr vi begynner pÄ universitetet. Men mer enn det..."
En: "About us. About the future. I donât want to lose touch with you when we start university. But more than that..."
No: Han tok en dyp pusting.
En: He took a deep breath.
No: "Jeg liker deg. Mer enn som en venn."
En: "I like you. More than just as a friend."

No: "Sander," sa hun stille, "jeg har fĂžlt det samme lenge."

En: The relief that washed over him was overwhelming.
No: De omfavnet hverandre, og ord trengtes ikke.
En: They embraced, and no words were needed.
No: Ăyeblikket var fylt med lovende stillhet, kun avbrutt av fjordens varsommelige bĂžlgesvulp.
En: The moment was filled with promising silence, only interrupted by the fjord's gentle waves.
No: Mens kvelden fortsatt hadde et mildt lys, gikk de begge framtiden i mĂžte med fornyet selvtillit.
En: While the evening still held a mild light, they both faced the future with renewed confidence.

En: And together they stood there, with the radiant beauty of the Oslofjord as a backdrop, ready for whatever life might bring.
