Varbūt varu palīdzēt?”En: "I heard what you're looking for. Maybe I can help?"Lv: Evelīnas acis spīdēja.En: Evelīna's eyes shone.Lv: Palīgā bija ieradušās arī viņas draudzīgās rokas.En: Her friendly hands had also come to help.Lv: Viņi skenēja zemi un stendu apakšpusē.En: They scanned the ground and under the stalls.Lv: Sniegs aizklāja ceļu, bet viņu spēks ir liels; viņi ir apņēmīgi.En: The snow covered the path, but their connection was strong; they were determined.Lv: Pēkšņi, laikā, kad izsīkuma ēnas sāka pārņemt Evelīnu, viņa pamanīja vāju spīdumu zem kāda stenda galda.En: Suddenly, just as the shadows of exhaustion...
