Entre rialles i complicitat, van crear una coreografia improvisada.

Quan el soroll dels aplaudiments es va aturar, Núria va mirar cap a Montserrat i Jordi.
When the noise of the applause died down, Núria looked over at Montserrat and Jordi.
Tots tres van esclatar en rialles.
The three of them burst into laughter.
"No era un flash mob, oi?
"It wasn't a flash mob, was it?"
" va dir a través d'un somriure tímid.
she said through a shy smile.
Jordi va assentir amb el cap.
Jordi nodded.
"Però ho has fet genial!
"But you did great!"
"Montserrat va afegir: "Sí, has fet que tothom s'ho passés bé.
Montserrat added, "Yes, you made everyone have a good time."
"Núria, encara una mica avergonyida, va adonar-se que havia passat una experiència inoblidable.
Núria, still a bit embarrassed, realized she had experienced an unforgettable moment.
I així, el trio va continuar el seu passeig per La Rambla rient i comentant els esdeveniments.

Ara, ja no tenia por de provar coses noves.
