viņi saplānoja jaunas tikšanās.En: Elīna, Jānis, and Mārtiņš promised to meet more often and support each other; they planned new gatherings.Lv: Kad viņi devās atpakaļ uz viesnīcu, vējš, šķita, bija kļuvusi maigāka, un Elīnas sirds bija silta.En: As they headed back to the hotel, the wind seemed to have softened, and Elīna's heart was warm.Lv: Viņa nezināja, vai šī saruna pilnībā atjaunos viņu saites, bet šis bija tikai sākums, un viņai šis sākums šķita patiesi cerīgs.En: She didn't know if this conversation would fully restore their bonds, but this was just the beginning, and to her, this beginning seemed truly hopeful.
