No: Kasper satt i den gamle bibliotekstolen, omgitt av tunge bøker og notater.

No: Vinterens siste pust hvisket utenfor de store vinduene, men inne i universitetsbiblioteket i Oslo fant han ro.
En: Winter's last breath whispered outside the large windows, but inside universitetsbiblioteket in Oslo, he found peace.

No: Kasper hadde alltid elsket litteratur, men nå krevde det mer enn bare kjærlighet for å komme seg gjennom finalene.

En: They exchanged short messages, but Kasper longed for more.

No: Da han igjen forsøkte å fokusere på studiene, kjente han tyngden av begge verdener – kravene fra eksamener og hjertet som savnet Ingrid.

No: Hver søndag kveld skulle de ha en lang videosamtale.
