under the rapidly flickering sunlight streaming through the large windows, a lively preparation was taking place in the office.Sl: Mateja je sedela za svojo mizo, obkrožena z dokumenti in zmešnjavo

and over, receiving helpful feedback after each attempt.Sl: Teja, ki je bila vedno optimistična, je rekla: "Pomisli na nasmeh, Mateja.En: Teja, who was always optimistic, said, "Think about smiling, Mateja.Sl: Nič ni lepšega, da poveš zgodbo ljudem, ki te poslušajo.En: There's nothing better than telling a story to people who are listening."Sl: "Ko je napočil dan predstavitve, je sonce že ogrelo

silence and breathed deeply.Sl: Njeno srce je še vedno hitelo, a njen glas se je umiril.En: Her heart was still racing, but her voice steadied.Sl: S prepričljivim in prisrčnim tonom je začela svoja
