Story Transcript:
Da: Tivoli Gardens i København var smukt denne aften.
En: Tivoli Gardens in København was beautiful this evening.
Da: Lanternerne svømmede i den kølige luft, mens gyldne blade dansede omkring fødderne af de gæster, der gik gennem den gamle forlystelsespark.
En: The lanterns floated in the cool air, while golden leaves danced around the feet of the guests walking through the old amusement park.
Da: Luften var fyldt med duften af brændte mandler og græskartærter.
En: The air was filled with the scent of roasted almonds and pumpkin pie.
Da: Mikkel stod ved indgangen.
En: Mikkel stood at the entrance.
Da: Han trak vejret dybt og så ud over festivalen, hvor mennesker gik hånd i hånd, grinede og nød det sidste af efterårets skønhed.
En: He took a deep breath and looked over the festival, where people walked hand in hand, laughed, and enjoyed the last of autumn's beauty.
Da: Han ville det samme.
En: He wanted the same.
Da: Han ønskede, at nogen greb efter hans hånd, og at han ikke følte sig så alene.
En: He wished someone would reach for his hand, and that he wouldn't feel so alone.
Da: Men han var bange for, at ingen ville.
En: But he feared that no one would.
Da: Fra hans højre side kom Jonas.
En: From his right side came Jonas.
Da: "Du drømmer igen, Mikkel?
En: "You're dreaming again, Mikkel?
Da: Pas nu på.
En: Be careful now.
Da: Man kan hurtigt blive skuffet," sagde Jonas og dunkede ham venligt på skulderen.
En: It's easy to get disappointed," said Jonas, giving him a friendly nudge on the shoulder.
Da: Jonas var Mikkels barndomsven og havde altid de samme råd – at passe på ikke at skynde sig ind i en romance.
En: Jonas was Mikkel's childhood friend and always had the same advice – to be careful not to rush into romance.
Da: Mikkel smilede skævt.
En: Mikkel gave a crooked smile.
Da: "Jeg ved, men det gør ikke noget, at drømme lidt."
En: "I know, but it doesn't hurt to dream a little."
Da: Inde midt i folkemængden fangede Astrid’s lette latter hans opmærksomhed.
En: In the middle of the crowd, Astrid's light laughter caught his attention.
Da: Hun var ny i byen og manglede også nogen at dele sit liv med.
En: She was new in town and also wanted someone to share her life with.
Da: Hendes smil kunne lyse hele Tivoli op, og Mikkel følte et lille håb varme hans hjerte.
En: Her smile could light up the whole Tivoli, and Mikkel felt a small hope warm his heart.
Da: De to så på hinanden et kort sekund, hvorefter Mikkel tog mod til sig.
En: The two looked at each other for a brief second, and then Mikkel gathered his courage.
Da: Han gik over til Astrid.
En: He walked over to Astrid.
Da: "Hej, jeg er Mikkel," sagde han lidt nervøst og stak hænderne i lommerne.
En: "Hi, I'm Mikkel," he said a bit nervously, sticking his hands in his pockets.
Da: Astrid svarede med et varmt smil.
En: Astrid replied with a warm smile.
Da: "Hej Mikkel, jeg er Astrid.
En: "Hi Mikkel, I'm Astrid.
Da: Det er så smukt her, ikke?"
En: It's so beautiful here, isn't it?"
Da: "Ja, virkelig," sagde Mikkel.
En: "Yes, really," said Mikkel.
Da: "Vil du måske gå en tur og se på Halloween-forlystelserne med mig?"
En: "Would you maybe like to take a walk and look at the Halloween attractions with
