Pt: Num dia frio de inverno, nas colinas misteriosas de Sintra, um grupo de estudantes chegou a um retiro espiritual.
En: On a cold winter day, in the mysterious hills of Sintra, a group of students arrived at a spiritual retreat.
Pt: O lugar era mĂĄgico, com jardins verdes, trilhos meditativos e antigas ruĂnas.
En: The place was magical, with green gardens, meditative trails, and ancient ruins.

Pt: Na manhĂŁ do segundo dia, enquanto o grupo explorava os jardins, Tiago decidiu afastar-se.
En: On the morning of the second day, while the group explored the gardens, Tiago decided to distance himself.
Pt: Ele encontrou um canto tranquilo perto das ruĂnas. Sentou-se num banco de pedra, apenas ouvindo o vento.
En: He found a quiet corner near the ruins and sat on a stone bench, just listening to the wind.
Pt: Mariana notou a ausĂȘncia de Tiago.
En: Mariana noticed Tiago's absence.

Pt: Pensou que ele talvez precisasse de companhia.
En: She thought he might need some company.
Pt: "Tiago!", chamou Mariana ao aproximar-se.
En: "Tiago!", called Mariana as she approached.
Pt: Tiago levantou a cabeça, surpreso por vĂȘ-la ali.
En: Tiago raised his head, surprised to see her there.
Pt: "Posso sentar-me contigo?", perguntou gentilmente.
En: "Can I sit with you?" she asked gently.
Pt: Tiago hesitou.

En: He valued his space but saw the sincerity in Mariana's eyes.
Pt: Concordou. "Claro", respondeu.
En: He agreed. "Of course," he replied.
Pt: O silĂȘncio envolveu-os por alguns minutos.

En: Finally, Tiago spoke. "Sorry, I'm here because I need to think... alone."
Pt: Mariana sorriu. "Entendo. Ăs vezes, tambĂ©m preciso de tempo para mim."
