Det var påskedag i Nyhavn.

De karakteristiske farverige huse spejlede sig i kanalen.

Mathias gik langsomt mellem de mange mennesker.

Mathias walked slowly among the many people.

Han kiggede efter Freja.

Hun havde inviteret familien til den lille sammenkomst.

She had invited the family to the small gathering.

Signe var fast besluttet på at lægge gamle misforståelser bag dem.

Freja var allerede ankommet og stod ved vinduet, hvor hun betragtede bådene.

Freja had already arrived and stood by the window, where she watched the boats.

Mathias samlede mod og gik mod Freja.

Mathias gathered courage and walked toward Freja.

"Hej Freja," sagde han forsigtigt.

"Hi Freja," he said cautiously.

"Hvordan har du det?"

"How are you?"

Freja vendte sig og smilede.

Freja turned and smiled.

"Hej Mathias.

"Hi Mathias.

Det er godt at se dig igen.

It's good to see you again.

Det er så længe siden."

It's been so long."

De satte sig ned.

They sat down.

Rundt om dem summede cafeen af liv.

Around them, the café buzzed with life.

Påskeæg hang i butiksvinduerne som farverige dekorationer.

Easter eggs hung in shop windows as colorful decorations.

På bordet stod der friskbagt brød og varm thé.

On the table, there was freshly baked bread and warm tea.

"Jeg ønskede virkelig, vi kunne tale om fortiden," sagde Mathias.

"I really wanted us to talk about the past," said Mathias.

"Jeg savnede vores venskab."

"I missed our friendship."

Freja så ud gennem vinduet et øjeblik.

Freja looked out the window for a moment.

"Jeg har også savnet dig, Mathias.

"I've missed you too, Mathias.

Men jeg ved ikke, om jeg er klar til at blive her i Danmark."

But I don’t know if I'm ready to stay here in Danmark."

Mathias tog en dyb indånding.

Mathias took a deep breath.

"Jeg forstår det, Freja.

"I understand, Freja.

Men jeg vil gerne være en del af dit liv, om det er her eller der."

But I want to be part of your life, whether it's here or there."

De talte længe.

They talked for a long time.

Mathias talte fra hjertet om sin kamp med arbejde og ensomhed.

Mathias spoke from the heart about his struggle with work and loneliness.

Freja delte sine usikkerheder om at vende tilbage.

Freja shared her uncertainties about returning.

"Jeg har besluttet at blive lidt længere," sagde Freja til sidst.

"I've decided to stay a little longer," said Freja finally.

"Jeg vil gerne genopbygge vores venskab."

"I want to rebuild our friendship."

"Jeg vil prioritere det her," lovede Mathias.

"I will prioritize this," promised Mathias.

"Venskaber betyder mere end arbejde."

"Friendships mean more than work."

De rejste sig op, gik tilbage til festen og smilede til Signe, der så glad ud: hendes plan om at forene dem havde lykkedes.

They stood up, went back to the party, and smiled at Signe, who looked pleased: her plan to reunite them had succeeded.

Snart bredte varmen fra foråret sig også i deres hjerter.

Soon, the warmth of spring spread into their hearts as well.
