je.En: "Here you go, a pencil," he said shyly, handing it to her.Hr: "Ja sam Mira," rekla je, zahvalno.En: "I'm Mira," she said gratefully.Hr: "Tvoja olovka će možda pomoći pronaći novu ideju.En:

potrajati.En: Luka called out: "Looks like it's going to last.Hr: Bolje potražite sklonište.En: You better find shelter."Hr: " Mira se nasmijala.En: Mira laughed.Hr: "Znaš li neku galeriju u

meet again?"Hr: " upitala je Mira s nadom u očima.En: Mira asked with hope in her eyes.Hr: "Definitivno," odgovorio je Igor, predajući joj svoj broj telefona.En: "Definitely," answered Igor, handing
