Da: I det åbne kontor i Aarhus skinnede den tidlige efterårssol gennem vinduerne.

Da: Freja sagde bestemt til Mikkel og Kasper.

En: To Freja's surprise, Mikkel came up with some useful suggestions.

Da: Kasper bidrog med kreative løsninger.
En: Kasper contributed with creative solutions.

Da: Da de ankom til København, var der ikke meget tid tilbage.

Da: De løb ind på konferencecentret kun få øjeblikke før præsentationen skulle starte.

Da: På vej tilbage til Aarhus, reflekterede Freja over de sidste par dage.

Da: Hun lovede sig selv at lytte mere til dem i fremtiden.
