Story Transcript:

Ga: Ag barr na gCloch Mhóire, bhí spéir gorm lánréaltaí ag amharc anuas ar Niamh, Conor, agus Aisling.
En: At the top of na gCloch Mhóire, a blue sky full of stars looked down upon Niamh, Conor, and Aisling.

Ga: Bhí boladh bláthanna sa ghaoth úr Earrach, agus scairt na farraige ag buaileadh na n-aillte.
En: The scent of flowers was in the fresh spring breeze, and the roar of the sea was crashing against the cliffs.

Ga: Organíodh Aisling turas grúpa don Cháisc, ag súil le cairdeas nua a chruthú idir dreamanna éagsúla dá cairde.
En: Aisling organized a group trip for Easter, hoping to forge new friendships among different groups of her friends.

Ga: Bhí Niamh, taighdeoir díograiseach, ag iarraidh sos beag óna hobair.
En: Niamh, an enthusiastic researcher, was looking for a little break from her work.

Ga: Bhí sí amhrasach faoin ngrá, ach bhí súil ghlic istigh inti go mbuailfeadh sí le duine speisialta.
En: She was skeptical about love, but had a sly hope within her that she might meet someone special.

Ga: Thaitin fáilteachas na hÉireann léi, ach mhothaigh sí go raibh uaigneas i measc an ghrúpa bríomhar.
En: She appreciated the hospitality of Éire, but felt a loneliness amongst the lively group.

Ga: Lá amháin, agus an grúpa ag siúl go cúramach ar fud na haille, bhuail Niamh le Conor go tútach.
En: One day, as the group carefully walked along the cliff, Niamh bumped into Conor clumsily.

Ga: D'fhiafraigh sé di más maith léi níos mó tithe agus draíocht na hÉireann a fheiceáil.
En: He asked her if she would like to see more of the houses and wonders of Éire.

Ga: Bhí Conor díreach tar éis a phost corparáideach a fhágáil agus bhí sé ar thóir eachtraí nua.
En: Conor had just left his corporate job and was in search of new adventures.

Ga: Bhí aoibh shimplí ar a aghaidh agus d'fhéach sé amach ar an saol.
En: A simple smile on his face, he gazed out at life.

Ga: De réir mar a chuaigh na laethanta thart, d'fhás an caidreamh eatarthu.
En: As the days went by, the relationship between them grew.

Ga: Phléadar a gcuid aislingí agus a gcuid eagla i rith na hoícheanta ag an tine.
En: They discussed their dreams and fears during the nights by the fire.

Ga: Mhothaigh Niamh ceangal nach raibh aici le fada.
En: Niamh felt a connection she hadn’t had in a long time.

Ga: Ach rith eagla léi go raibh sí ag caochaíl a súile ar rud a bhí dodhéanta a cheansú.
En: But she feared she was closing her eyes to something impossible to tame.

Ga: Le linn luí na gréine ar an gCloch Mhóire, shuigh an bheirt ag amharc ar an radharc draíochtúil.
En: During sunset at an gCloch Mhór, the two sat watching the magical scenery.

Ga: Chuir timpeallacht na háilleachta a gcroíthe ar crith.
En: The beauty of the surroundings made their hearts tremble.

Ga: D'fhiafraigh Conor dar ndóigh an dtiocfadh sí isteach ina shaol níos doimhne.
En: Of course, Conor asked if she would come into his life more deeply.

Ga: Bhí Niamh idir dhá chomhairle, a claonadh i leith an aontaobhachais ag cothromú a spéis.
En: Niamh was of two minds, her tendency toward solitude balancing her interest.

Ga: "Tá radharcra álainn anseo, cosúil leatsa," arsa Conor go háireamhach, agus aoibh air.
En: "The scenery is beautiful here, just like you," said Conor thoughtfully, with a smile.

Ga: "B'fhéidir gurbh fhéidir linn féachaint cén radharc a...
