En: She didn't expect to meet someone special.

Sl: Njuni pogledi so se srečali čez mizo.
En: Their eyes met across the table.

Sl: Luka je opazil Matejin samozavesten pristop, svoboden smeh in bistre oči.
En: Luka noticed Mateja's confident approach, carefree laughter, and bright eyes.

Sl: Nervoza je prešla v radovednost.
En: His nervousness turned into curiosity.

Sl: Mateja je prepoznala Luko kot resnega tekmeca.

Sl: Žetoni so trkali, soba je žuborela od napetega pričakovanja.
En: Chips clinked, and the room buzzed with tense anticipation.

Sl: Luka je opazoval Matejo, in da bi se sprostil, jo je nagovoril: "Si prvič tukaj?
En: Luka watched Mateja, and to relax, he addressed her: "Is this your first time here?"

Sl: " Mateja se je nasmehnila: "Ne, ampak morda prvič z nekom zanimivim.
En: Mateja smiled: "No, but maybe the first with someone interesting."

Sl: "Luka se je nasmehnil.
En: Luka smiled.

Sl: "Tekmovalna si," je rekel.
En: "You're competitive," he said.

Sl: Mateja je prikimala: "Vedno.
En: Mateja nodded: "Always.

Sl: Ampak danes pa malo tvegam.
En: But today, I'm taking a little risk."

Sl: " Tako sta se pogovarjala in se čez čas že občutila manjšo napetost.
En: So they talked, and over time, they felt a little less tense.
