No: Hun hadde jobbet i måneder med lysinstallasjonen sin.
En: She had worked for months on her light installation.

No: "Lyset i mørket" skulle være en del av Bergens Lysfest, og hun så fram til å se det lyse opp torget.
En: "The Light in the Dark" was to be part of Bergen's Lysfest, and she looked forward to seeing it light up the square.

No: "Eirik, jeg må få dette til," sa Sofie bestemt.
En: "Eirik, I have to make this happen," said Sofie determinedly.

No: Eirik, sittende ved det lille kjøkkenbordet med en kopp varm te, nikket forståelsesfullt.

En: He knew how important this was to her.

No: "Jeg vet, men vær forsiktig.
En: "I know, but be careful.

No: Stormen kan bli verre enn vi tror," svarte han, mens han rev seg i skjegget, en vane han hadde når han bekymret seg.
En: The storm can be worse than we think," he replied, pulling at his beard, a habit he had when he was worried.

No: Utover dagen økte uværet.
En: Throughout the day, the weather worsened.

No: Vinden ulte gjennom gatene, og snøen danset vilt i luften.

En: I can help.

No: Vær så snill, la meg prøve!
En: Please, let me try!"

No: " tryglet hun.
En: she pleaded.

No: Etter en kort, intens diskusjon, ble det bestemt at hennes installasjon kunne settes opp under en liten, buet klosterbue i sentrum.
En: After a short, intense discussion, it was decided that her installation could be set up under a small, arched cloister in the center.

No: Sofie pakket sammen all nødvendig utstyr, og Eirik hjalp henne med å bære det til stedet, snøen virvlet rundt dem som iverksatte snøstorm.

No: Med stor besluttsomhet begynte hun arbeidet, fingrene kalde, men hjertet varmt.
En: With great determination, she began her work, fingers cold but heart warm.

No: Langsomt, som om byen selv ville dem velkommen, samlet en liten skare mennesker seg i skjul av buen, trukket av glødet fra installasjonen.
En: Slowly, as if the city itself welcomed them, a small crowd of people gathered under the arch, drawn by the glow of the installation.

No: Lysene blomstret som nordlyset over en vinterhimmel i skumringen, en fargesymfoni som varmet sjelene til de som hadde trosset stormen for å beundre hennes kunst.
