Story Transcript:

Sv: I det gamla huset, där träborden var tungt prydda med tallrikar av rotmos, köttbullar och tända ljus, satt Elin tyst.

En: In the old house, where the wooden tables were heavily adorned with plates of mashed rutabaga, meatballs, and lit candles, Elin sat silently.

Sv: Det var höst, och löven prasslade mot fönstren i takt med den kyliga vinden.

En: It was autumn, and the leaves rustled against the windows in rhythm with the chilly wind.

Sv: Familjemiddagar i hennes föräldrahem var ingen lycklig tillställning, utan snarare en scen välbekant av spända leenden och icke-sagda ord.

En: Family dinners at her parents' home were not a happy affair, but rather a scene familiar with tense smiles and unsaid words.

Sv: Elin sneglade mot sin bror, Sven, som mekade med servetten i knäet för att dölja sin nervositet.

En: Elin glanced at her brother, Sven, who fiddled with his napkin in his lap to hide his nervousness.
