Story Transcript:
Pt: A música natalÃcia enchia o ar no Amoreiras Shopping Center.
En: The Christmas music filled the air at the Amoreiras Shopping Center.
Pt: As luzes faiscavam, iluminando as lojas apinhadas de gente.
En: The lights sparkled, illuminating the shops crowded with people.
Pt: Estava uma tarde fria de inverno, e Tiago sentia-se agasalhado, mas ansioso.
En: It was a cold winter afternoon, and Tiago felt bundled up but anxious.
Pt: Era a véspera de Natal, e ele ainda não tinha encontrado o presente perfeito para Sara.
En: It was Christmas Eve, and he still hadn't found the perfect gift for Sara.
Pt: Tiago passeava pelos corredores com Bruno ao seu lado, um amigo sempre descontraÃdo que dizia: "Não complicas, Tiago, compras um perfume ou algo assim!".
En: Tiago strolled through the corridors with Bruno by his side, a laid-back friend who said, "Don't complicate things, Tiago, just buy a perfume or something like that!"
Pt: Mas para Tiago, encontrar o presente certo era mais importante do que isso.
En: But for Tiago, finding the right gift was more important than that.
Pt: Ele queria algo que mostrasse a Sara o quanto ela significava para ele.
En: He wanted something that would show Sara how much she meant to him.
Pt: Sara, sempre organizada, também estava no shopping, mas noutra ala, a escolher um presente perfeito para Tiago.
En: Sara, always organized, was also at the mall, but in another wing, choosing a perfect gift for Tiago.

En: He entered a jewelry store.
Pt: As prateleiras brilhavam, refletindo as luzes de Natal.
En: The shelves glimmered, reflecting the Christmas lights.
Pt: Bruno olhou em volta e disse: "Vês aquele colar ali?
En: Bruno looked around and said, "See that necklace over there?
Pt: Parece bonito!".
En: It looks pretty!"
Pt: Tiago hesitou.
En: Tiago hesitated.
Pt: O colar era bonito, mas simples.
En: The necklace was pretty, but simple.
Pt: Será que transmitia a profundidade dos seus sentimentos por Sara?
En: Would it convey the depth of his feelings for Sara?
Pt: O tempo passava rápido.
En: Time passed quickly.
Pt: Os altifalantes anunciavam que as lojas fechariam em trinta minutos.
En: The loudspeakers announced that the stores would close in thirty minutes.
Pt: Tiago sentia o stress aumentar.
En: Tiago felt his stress increasing.
Pt: Havia tanta pressão para escolher algo perfeito.
En: There was so much pressure to choose something perfect.
Pt: Bruno notou a sua hesitação e sugeriu: "Segue o teu instinto, amigo.
En: Bruno noticed his hesitation and suggested, "Follow your instinct, my friend.
Pt: És mais sensÃvel do que pensas."
En: You're more sensitive than you think."
Pt: Tiago respirou fundo e lembrou-se de algo que Sara disse semanas atrás sobre gostar de pedras com significado.
En: Tiago took a deep breath and remembered something Sara had said weeks ago about liking stones with meaning.
