Quase derruba o suco!" alertou Mateus, enquanto Rafaela quase esbarrava na mesa improvisada.En: "Rafa, watch out! You almost knocked over the juice!" warned Mateus, as Rafaela nearly bumped into the makeshift table.Pb: Ele era prático e sempre prestava atenção aos detalhes, tentando manter o cenário harmonioso.En: He was practical and always paid attention to details, trying to keep the setting harmonious.Pb: Luís, por sua vez, estava calado, observando Rafaela, lutando contra a vontade de perguntar como ela realmente estava.En: Luís, on the other hand, was silent, observing Rafaela, battling the urge to ask how she truly was.Pb: Enquanto isso, Rafaela tentava camuflar suas preocupações com um sorriso, mas seu olhar se perdia no lago tranquilamente banhado pelo sol de fim de tarde.En: Meanwhile, Rafaela tried to camouflage her worries with a smile, but her gaze was lost on the lake peacefully bathed by the late afternoon sun.Pb: Com o tempo, ela não conseguia mais segurar.En: Over time, she couldn't hold it in any longer.Pb: "Gente, preciso falar uma coisa," disse Rafaela, a voz um pouco hesitante.En: "Guys, I need to say something," said Rafaela, her voice a little hesitant.Pb: Mateus olhou para ela, dividindo-se entre deixar que ela conduzisse a conversa e querer protegê-la dos detalhes dolorosos.En: Mateus looked at her, torn between letting her lead the conversation and wanting to protect her from painful details.Pb: Luís, sentado ao lado dela, ouviu em silêncio, atento e respeitoso ao espaço que ela precisava para se abrir.En: Luís, sitting next to her, listened in silence, attentive and respectful of the space she needed to open up.Pb: "Eu estou me sentindo perdida. Tudo parece diferente agora," confessou Rafaela.En: "I'm feeling lost. Everything seems different now," confessed Rafaela.Pb: Mateus, sempre o porto seguro, lhe deu um abraço.En: Mateus, always the safe harbor, gave her a hug.Pb: "Estamos aqui, Rafa, do que você precisar," respondeu ele, com carinho.En: "We're here, Rafa, for whatever you need," he replied, with affection.Pb: Luís, sentindo coragem crescer dentro dele, decidiu que aquele era o momento.En: Luís, feeling courage grow within him, decided that this was the moment.Pb: "Rafaela, eu também quero dizer algo," ele falou devagar, ainda inseguro, mas firme.En: "Rafaela, I also want to say something," he spoke slowly, still unsure but firm.Pb: Ela se virou para ele, curiosa.En: She turned to him, curious.Pb: "Eu... eu gosto de você há muito tempo." O sol estava se pondo, tingindo o céu de dourado e iluminando o rosto de Rafaela com uma luz cálida.En: "I... I have liked you for a long time." The sun was setting, painting the sky in gold and illuminating Rafaela's face with warm light.Pb: Surpresa, Rafaela não respondeu imediatamente.En: Surprised, Rafaela didn't respond immediately.Pb: Sentiu uma mistura de medo e alívio.En: She felt a mix of fear and relief.Pb: Sempre admirou Luís por sua sensibilidade e agora via nele uma nova possibilidade.En: She had always admired Luís for his sensitivity and now saw a new possibility in him.Pb: "Eu não sabia, Luís...," ela começou, depois parou, buscando as palavras.En: "I didn't know, Luís...," she began, then stopped, searching for words.Pb: "Nós podemos ir devagar? Você importa muito para mim."En: "Can we take it slow? You mean a lot to me."Pb: Luís sorriu, compreendendo.En: Luís smiled, understanding.Pb: "Claro, Rafa. Sem pressa," disse ele, com um tom calmo.En: "Of course, Rafa. No rush," he said, in a calm tone.Pb: Mateus, ao lado, sorriu, vendo como ...
