Story Transcript:

No: Solen varmet Siv i ansiktet mens hun satt sammen med Lars på takterrassen til Operahuset i Oslo.
En: The sun warmed Siv's face as she sat with Lars on the rooftop terrace of the Opera House in Oslo.

No: Rundt dem strakte Oslofjordens blå vann seg ut, glitrende i sommersolen.
En: Around them, the blue waters of Oslofjord stretched out, sparkling in the summer sun.

No: Det var en perfekt dag å være ute, men Siv følte seg tung til sinns.
En: It was a perfect day to be outside, but Siv felt heavy at heart.

No: Hun så utover fjorden og tenkte på maleriet hun skulle begynne på, men ideene ville ikke komme.
En: She looked over the fjord and thought about the painting she was supposed to start, but the ideas wouldn't come.

No: Lars satt ved siden av henne, nippet til kald limonade.
En: Lars sat next to her, sipping cold lemonade.

No: "Det er en vakker dag, ikke sant, Siv?" spurte han og smilte oppmuntrende.
En: "It's a beautiful day, isn't it, Siv?" he asked, smiling encouragingly.

No: "Ja, men jeg klarer ikke å se det," svarte Siv, litt frustrert.
En: "Yes, but I can't see it," replied Siv, a bit frustrated.

No: Hun hadde hatt denne følelsen av å stå fast i flere uker nå.
En: She had been feeling stuck for several weeks now.

No: Ingenting hun malte føltes riktig.
En: Nothing she painted felt right.

No: "Minne deg på hvorfor du elsker å male," sa Lars rolig.
En: "Remind yourself why you love to paint," Lars said calmly.

No: "Dette stedet er full av inspirasjon."
En: "This place is full of inspiration."

No: Siv sukket.
En: Siv sighed.

No: "Kanskje jeg skal gi opp dette prosjektet," mumlet hun.
En: "Maybe I should give up on this project," she mumbled.

No: "Ikke tenk sånn," oppmuntret Lars.
En: "Don't think like that," encouraged Lars.

No: "Se på himmelen, se på lyset.
En: "Look at the sky, look at the light.

No: Nå er det ikke tid for å gi opp."
En: Now is not the time to give up."

No: De satt stille sammen en stund, begge tapt i egne tanker.
En: They sat quietly together for a while, both lost in their own thoughts.

No: Da, nesten som om himmelen hadde hørt dem, begynte solnedgangen.
En: Then, almost as if the sky had heard them, the sunset began.

No: Fargene danset over himmelen som et levende maleri: oransje, rosa, og lilla flammet opp bak fjorden.
En: The colors danced across the sky like a living painting: orange, pink, and purple flared up beyond the fjord.

No: Siv stirret, fanget.
En: Siv stared, captivated.

No: "Noe sånt," hvisket hun til seg selv, "det er det jeg vil male."
En: "Something like that," she whispered to herself, "that's what I want to paint."

No: Siv fant frem skisseboken sin og begynte å tegne.
En: Siv took out her sketchbook and started to draw.

No: Linjer og former fylte raskt siden, inspirert av den fantastiske solnedgangen.
En: Lines and shapes quickly filled the page, inspired by the stunning sunset.

No: Selv om det var en enkel skisse, merket hun at trykket hun hadde følt, begynte å lette.
En: Even though it was a simple sketch, she noticed the pressure she had felt beginning to lift.

No: Etter en stund så hun opp fra tegningen.
En: After a while, she looked up from her drawing.

No: "Takk, Lars," sa hun.
En: "Thank you,...
