so izginjali z vsakim nasmehom in besedo, ki sta si jo izmenjala.En: The conversation flowed smoothly, their fears dissipating with each smile and word exchanged.Sl: Med njuno razpravo je dež počasi ponehal in sonce je spet zasijalo.En: As they talked, the rain slowly subsided, and the sun shone once more.Sl: Ko se je izlet končal in avtobus jih je peljal nazaj domov, sta Mateja in Nina sedela
