Lepo je, da si tukaj."En: As he approached, he kindly said, "Hi, Zala. It's nice to see you here."Sl: Zala ga je presenečeno pogledala. "Oh, Miran! Nisem te pričakovala tu," se je nasmehnila.En: Zala looked at him in surprise. "Oh, Miran! I didn't expect to see you here," she smiled.Sl: "Sem del teh umetniških razstav. Bi si rada ogledala kaj mojega?" je predlagal in pokazal na svoja dela.En: "I'm part of these art exhibitions. Would you like to see some of my work?" he suggested, pointing to his pieces.Sl: Zala je prikimala in začela opazovati Miranove slike.En: Zala nodded and began to observe Miran's paintings.Sl: Ena izmed njih jo je še posebej pritegnila.En: One of them especially caught her attention.Sl: "Ta je čudovita," je rekla iskreno. "Odraža veliko čustev."En: "This one is beautiful," she said sincerely. "It conveys a lot of emotions."Sl: Miran je bil presenečen in hvaležen. "Vesel sem, da ti je všeč. To mi veliko pomeni."En: Miran was surprised and grateful. "I'm glad you like it. It means a lot to me."Sl: Skupaj sta se zasidrala v pogovoru o umetnosti, potovanjih in življenju.En: Together they delved into a conversation about art, travel, and life.Sl: Miran je začutil, kako mu raste samozavest.En: Miran felt his confidence growing.Sl: Zala je presenetljivo uživala v njegovi družbi, nekaj, česar ni pričakovala ob tovrstnem dogodku.En: Zala surprisingly enjoyed his company, something she did not expect at such an event.Sl: "Bi šla na kakav?" je na koncu predlagal Miran.En: "Would you like to go for some cocoa?" Miran eventually suggested.Sl: Zala je oklevala le za trenutek.En: Zala hesitated only for a moment.Sl: Nato je rekla: "Zakaj pa ne? Poskusiva."En: Then she said, "Why not? Let's try."Sl: Tako sta se odpravila proti bližnji kavarni, kamor sta vstopila smeječa in polna novih idej.En: So they headed to a nearby cafe, entering with laughter and full of new ideas.Sl: Ljubljani je zima prinesla nekaj posebnega; prijateljstvo ali morda kaj več.En: Ljubljana was given something special by winter; friendship or perhaps something more.Sl: Miran je ugotovil, da je moč ljubiti svoje delo in biti odkrit.En: Miran realized that it's possible to love one's work and be open.Sl: Zala pa je razumela, da čar lahko pride iz najmanj pričakovanih krajev.En: Zala understood that magic can come from the most unexpected places.Sl: Snega je bilo vedno manj, a toplina srečanja je počasi premagovala mraz.En: There was less and less snow, but the warmth of the meeting slowly overcame the cold.Sl: Trg je ostajal živahen, tisoče novih zgodb se je začelo že to zimo, vendar je njihova zgodbica komaj vzklila.En: The square remained lively, thousands of new stories had already begun this winter, but their little story had just sprouted.
