"Ampak..." Zastal je, besede so mu ostale na jeziku.En: "I love our vineyard," replied Anže. "But..." He paused, the words stuck on his tongue.Sl: Medtem ko so delali, so pogovori postajali glasnejši.En: As they worked, the conversations grew louder.Sl: Starača se je hitro širila, in Anže je čutil, da je trenutek pravi.En: The hustle quickly spread, and Anže felt that the moment was right.Sl: Srce mu je razbijalo.En: His heart was pounding.Sl: Stopil je pred družino.En: He stepped forward in front of his family.Sl: "Vem, kaj se pričakuje od mene," je začel, "ampak ne najdem se tukaj.En: "I know what's expected of me," he began, "but I don't see myself here.Sl: Želim si drugačno pot, želim v mesto, želim delati v tehnologiji."En: I want a different path, I want to go to the city, I want to work in technology."Sl: Vlada je obmolknila.En: Silence fell.Sl: Nato se je oglasila Lana, brez kančka dvoma v glasu.En: Then Lana spoke up, with not a hint of doubt in her voice.Sl: "Anže, tvoje sanje niso nič manj vredne...
