Potrebujem paradižnike, solato..." govori hitro.En: "Mateja, we don't have time. I need tomatoes, lettuce..." he speaks quickly.Sl: Mateja pa ga pelje k stojnici z domačimi marmeladami.En: But Mateja leads him to a stall with homemade jams.Sl: "Poskusi to, morda bo dobra za kruh."En: "Try this one, it might be good for the bread."Sl: Medtem ko se Gregor pogovori z Matejinim navdušenjem, mu ponesreči pade seznam v bližnji vodnjak.En: As Gregor is negotiating with Mateja's enthusiasm, he accidentally drops the list into a nearby well.Sl: "Ne, moj seznam!" se oglasi z obupom.En: "No, my list!" he cries out in despair.Sl: Voda je njegov načrt razpustila.En: The water has dissolved his plan.Sl: Mateja se zasmeje, a vidi njegovo zaskrbljenost.En: Mateja laughs but sees his concern.Sl: "Brezzveze, Gregor," ga pomirja.En: "No worries, Gregor," she reassures him.Sl: "Sledi srcu, ne seznamu."En: "Follow your heart, not the list."Sl: Gregor prvič spusti svoj načrt.En: For the first time, Gregor lets go of his plan.Sl: "Prav," vdihne globoko.En: "Alright," he takes a deep breath.Sl: Skupaj se začneta sprehajati po tržnici brez skrbi.En: Together, they start strolling through the market without worries.Sl: Kupita sveže kruhke, zelišča, lokalni med... vse, kar pritegne oko ali nos.En: They buy fresh rolls, herbs, local honey... everything that catches the eye or nose.Sl: Ko prideta domov, napolnjena z novimi stvarmi, Mateja pripravi solato s svežo baziliko, ki je ne bi našla na seznamu, in naredita pladenj z različnimi siri in marmelado.En: When they get home, filled with new things, Mateja prepares a salad with fresh basil that wouldn’t have been found on the list, and they make a platter with different cheeses and jam.Sl: Družinsko srečanje uspe več, kot je Gregor pričakoval.En: The family gathering turns out better than Gregor expected.Sl: Ljudje uživajo v jedi in vzdušju.En: People enjoy the food and the atmosphere.Sl: Gregor spozna, da popolnost ni vedno v načrtih, ampak v uživanju trenutka.En: Gregor realizes that perfection is not always in the plans but in enjoying the moment.Sl: Z Matejo se smejeta, ko pogledata nad svoje ustvarjeno delo.En: He and Mateja laugh as they look over their creation.Sl: Gregor se sprosti in prvič zaupa spominu, ne seznamu.En: Gregor relaxes and trusts, for the first time, in memory, not a list.Sl: Naslednjič bosta spet skupaj nakupovala, brez preveč skrbi.En: Next time, they will shop together again, without too much worry.Sl: Spontanost je res lahko zabavna.En: Spontaneity can indeed be fun.
