Da: "Det er dejligt her, Soren," sagde Ingrid med et smil, der lettede noget af hans spænding.

Da: "Tak, far," sagde Soren, hans hjerte slog lidt roligere.
En: "Thank you, Dad," said Soren, his heart beating a little calmer.

Da: De spiste og hyggede sig.
En: They ate and enjoyed themselves.

Da: Snart var der latter og historier, der fløj rundt.

Da: Ingrid lagde armen om Soren.
