Sem ... imam novo idejo ...« je Matej zajecljal, njegov glas skorajda izgubil moč.En: "Hello, Tanja. I... I have a new idea..." Matej stammered, his voice almost losing its strength.Sl: »Res? V svoji glavi že vidim reklamo za tvojo razstavo,« ga je prekinila Tanja, njeni očesi pa so zasijali od navdušenja.En: "Really? I can already see the advertisement for your exhibition in my mind," Tanja interrupted him, her eyes bright with excitement.Sl: Matej je ugotovil, da je razumela napačno.En: Matej realized that she misunderstood.Sl: Panika mu je plamtela po obrazu.En: Panic flashed across his face.Sl: Pogledal je Zalo.En: He glanced at Zala.Sl: Njene oči so srečale njegove, rahlo nasmehnjen izraz na njenem obrazu.En: Her eyes met his, a slight smile on her face.Sl: S preudarkom je stopila k njuni mizi.En: With intention, she approached their...
