Savannah, Georgia oli talvel jahedam, kui Maire arvas.

Savannah, Georgia, was cooler in the winter than Maire thought.

Ta vaatas üle õla Toomast ja Katrinit.

She looked over her shoulder at Toomas and Katrin.

Nende tee viis mööda Savannah' munakiviteesid, kus puud riputasid kergelt Hispaania sammal.

Their path led through Savannah's cobblestone streets, where the trees were lightly draped with Spanish moss.

Õhk oli jahe, aga päike paistis.

The air was cool, but the sun was shining.

Maire, vapper ja sihikindel eesti naine, hoidis meelt erksana.

Maire, a brave and determined Estonian woman, kept her spirits high.

Oli viimane päev enne nende tagasilendu.

It was the last day before their return flight.

Nad jalutasid ümber Forsythi pargi, kui Toomas äkki seisma jäi.

They were walking around Forsyth Park when Toomas suddenly stopped.

Ta hoidis rinda ja tšehhatas sügavalt sisse.

He held his chest and took a deep breath.

"Mul on kõik korras," ütles Toomas, kuid tema nägu oli kahvatu.

"I'm fine," said Toomas, but his face was pale.

Katrin vaatas Maire poole, silmis mure.

Katrin looked at Maire with concern in her eyes.

„Toomas, sa pead puhkama,“ ütles ta.

“Toomas, you need to rest,” she said.

Kuid Toomas raputas pead ja seadis sammu edasi.

But Toomas shook his head and continued on.

Maire süda tuksus kiiremini.

Maire's heart beat faster.

Ta teadis, et Toomas põeb südamehaigust.

She knew Toomas had a heart condition.

Ta ei saanud seda ignoreerida.

She couldn't ignore it.

"Peame leidma meditsiinilise abi," ütles Maire kindlalt.

"We need to find medical help," Maire said firmly.

„Ei ole vaja,“ protesteeris Toomas.

“No need,” protested Toomas.

„See on lihtsalt hetkeline nõrkus.“

“It's just a momentary weakness.”

Maire otsustas julguse kokku võtta.

Maire decided to gather her courage.

Ta otsis telefonist numbrit ja valis 911.

She searched for the number on her phone and dialed 911.

Tema inglise keel oli piisavalt hea, et olukorda selgitada.

Her English was good enough to explain the situation.

Tema süda paiskas pinget, kui ootas vastust.

Her heart pounded with tension as she waited for a response.

„Ma olen Forsythi pargis.

"I'm in Forsyth Park.

Minu sõbral on südameprobleem.“

My friend has a heart problem."

Varsti kostis sireenide hääl.

Soon, the sound of sirens could be heard.

Toomas vaatas Maire poole pehmelt, mõistes naise muret.

Toomas looked at Maire softly, understanding her concern.

„Võib-olla sa tegid õigesti,“ pomises ta.

"Maybe you did the right thing," he murmured.

Katrin jäi tänulikult Maire kõrvale, samal ajal kui haigla meeskond Toomasele appi tõttas.

Katrin stayed gratefully by Maire's side as the hospital team rushed to help Toomas.

„Maire, kas sa lähed temaga?“ küsis Katrin.

“Maire, are you going with him?” Katrin asked.

Maire noogutas, haarates oma koti.

Maire nodded, grabbing her bag.

„Pean veenduma, et ta jõuab turvaliselt kohale.“

“I need to make sure he gets there safely.”

Kiirabi uksed sulgusid ja Maire hoidis Toomasel käest, kui auto hakkas haigla poole liikuma.

The ambulance doors closed, and Maire held Toomas's hand as the vehicle began to move toward the hospital.

Maire teadis, et tegi õige valiku.

Maire knew she had made the right choice.

Olla siin, võtta vastutus ja seista Toomase kõrval, andis talle uut enesekindlust.

Being here, taking responsibility, and standing by Toomas gave her new confidence.

Hiljem, kui Toomas oli stabiilne ja ohutus, hingas Maire kergendatult.

Later, when Toomas was stable and safe, Maire breathed a sigh of relief.

Ta istus haigla koridoris, olles tänulik, et oli järginud oma südant.

She sat in the hospital corridor, grateful she had followed her heart.

Toomas naeratas nõrgalt voodis.

Toomas smiled weakly from the bed.

„Aitäh, Maire,“ sosistas ta.

"Thank you, Maire," he whispered.

Maire naeratas vastu, tundes, kuidas hirm taandub ja asendub rahuga.

Maire smiled back, feeling the fear fade and be replaced by peace.

Ta teadis, kui oluline on kiire tegutsemine ja kui palju võib armastus sõbra vastu tähendada.

She knew how important it was to act quickly and how much love for a friend could mean.

Savannah'sse aegadesse naastes tundis Maire end tugevamana kui kunagi varem, teades, et on valmis vastu astuma igasugustele katsumustele.

Returning to times in Savannah, Maire felt stronger than ever, knowing she was ready to face any challenges.
