Ovo je bio trenutak koji je čekao. Morao je biti iskren.En: Dario took a deep breath. This was the moment he had been waiting for. He had to be honest.Hr: „Želim se ispričati,“ rekao je iskreno. "Zanemario sam vas oboje. Posao mi je bio važniji, ali sada vidim koliko sam griješio.”En: “I want to apologize,” he said sincerely. "I neglected both of you. Work was more important to me, but now I see how wrong I was.”Hr: Ovaj Darioev potez iznenadio je Luku i Marinu.En: This move by Dario surprised Luka and Marina.Hr: Rijetko kad je Dario pokazivao emocije.En: Dario rarely showed emotions.Hr: Slušali su s pažnjom dok je Dario nastavio s pričama iz prošlosti, sjećajući se zajedničkih avantura iz djetinjstva.En: They listened attentively as Dario continued with stories from the past, reminiscing about childhood adventures.Hr: No, tokom glavnog jela, nesuglasica je opet izbila na vidjelo.En: However, during the main course, a disagreement surfaced again.Hr: Luka je postao pomalo defenzivan oko svojih životnih izbora.En: Luka became somewhat defensive about his life choices.Hr: No, Dario je ostao smiren.En: Still, Dario remained calm.Hr: Pogledao je Luku u oči i rekao: „Sjetiš li se dana kada smo lovili leptire u parku? Bili smo tako sretni.“En: He looked Luka in the eyes and said, “Do you remember the days when we chased butterflies in the park? We were so happy back then.”Hr: Marina se nasmiješila, sjećajući se tih jednostavnih vremena.En: Marina smiled, recalling those simple times.Hr: Luka je uzdahnuo, ali osmijeh mu nije izostao.En: Luka sighed, but a smile didn’t elude him.Hr: Razgovor se pomaknuo prema sretnijim vremenima.En: The conversation shifted towards happier times.Hr: Razmijenili su smijeh, prisjećajući se sitnih nestašluka.En: They shared laughter, recalling little mischiefs.Hr: Do kraja večeri, osjećali su se bliže nego ikada.En: By the end of the evening, they felt closer than ever.Hr: Na izlazu iz restorana, dogovorili su se da će se češće viđati.En: On their way out of the restaurant, ...
