Hr: Nikola je stao nasloniti se na zid.
En: Nikola stopped and leaned against a wall.

Hr: "Jesi li dobro?
En: "Are you okay?"

Hr: " Vedrana je pitala, sad već zabrinuta.
En: Vedrana asked, now clearly worried.

Hr: "Žao mi je," prošapta Nikola.
En: "I’m sorry," whispered Nikola.

Hr: "Trebao sam vam reći.
En: "I should have told you...

Hr: Nisam bio dobro.
En: I wasn’t well."

Hr: ""Sad je važno da budeš bolje," rekla je Vedrana.
En: "What’s important now is that you get better," said Vedrana.

Hr: Lovro je samo klimnuo glavom, suze su mu tekle niz lice.
En: Lovro just nodded, tears streaming down his face.

En: Nikola realized that he didn’t always need to be strong.

Hr: Shvatio je koliko je važno pokazati svoje osjećaje.
En: He understood how important it was to show his feelings.

Hr: Kad su izašli iz klinike, sjedili su na klupi pored starog zida.
En: When they left the clinic, they sat on a bench by the old wall.

Hr: Gledali su more.
En: They watched the sea.

En: Vedrana held Nikola’s hand.

Hr: Lovro ga je uputio pogled pun nade.
En: Lovro looked at him with hope in his eyes.

Hr: "Idemo kući.
En: "Let’s go home.

Hr: Moramo razgovarati," reče Nikola.
En: We need to talk," said Nikola.

Hr: I tako, sunce je zalazilo iznad Dubrovnika, a obitelj je krenula prema novom početku, spremni da zajedno prebrode sve prepreke.
