Tivoli Gardens i København var forvandlet til et vinterparadis.

Tivoli Gardens in København was transformed into a winter paradise.

Snefnugg dalede roligt fra himlen, og de tusinde lys glimtede mod den mørke nat.

Snowflakes gently descended from the sky, and the thousands of lights glimmered against the dark night.

Midt i dette vintereventyr stødte Mads og Freja tilfældigt ind i hinanden på skøjtebanen.

In the midst of this winter fairy tale, Mads and Freja accidentally bumped into each other on the skating rink.

Mads, der var ny i byen og dedikeret til at knytte nye venskaber, smilede bredt, da han bød Freja op til en skøjtetur.

Mads, who was new to the city and dedicated to making new friends, smiled broadly as he invited Freja for a skate.

Freja, altid på udkig efter nye oplevelser, tog imod tilbuddet med glæde.

Freja, always looking for new experiences, gladly accepted the offer.

Snart svævede de to som gamle venner hen over isen med latteren hængende i luften.

Soon, the two of them glided like old friends across the ice, their laughter lingering in the air.

Hver dag mødtes de ved banen, og en særlig forbindelse begyndte at spire mellem dem.

Every day, they met at the rink, and a special connection began to blossom between them.

Men der var én person, der bekymrede sig for Freja – hendes mangeårige ven, Kasper.

But there was one person who worried about Freja—her longtime friend, Kasper.

Kasper havde sine forbehold.

Kasper had his reservations.

Han havde kendt Freja længe og følte, hun bevægede sig for hurtigt med den nye skater, Mads.

He had known Freja for a long time and felt she was moving too quickly with the new skater, Mads.

En dag tog Kasper mod til sig og besluttede at tale med Freja, mens de stod ved den varme drik stand.

One day, Kasper gathered his courage and decided to talk to Freja while they stood by the hot drink stand.

"Freja, er du sikker på, at du ved, hvad du gør?"

"Freja, are you sure you know what you're doing?"

spurgte Kasper forsigtigt.

Kasper asked cautiously.

"Mads virker flink, men du har kun kendt ham i kort tid."

"Mads seems nice, but you've only known him for a short time."

Freja smilede, men hun forstod Kaspers bekymring.

Freja smiled, but she understood Kasper's concern.

"Jeg ved, du bekymrer dig, Kasper, men jeg har det godt.

"I know you're worried, Kasper, but I feel good.

Det er bare skønne dage på isen indtil videre."

It's just wonderful days on the ice so far."

Ugerne gik, og det omdannede venskab mellem Mads og Freja blev stærkere.

Weeks passed, and the blossoming friendship between Mads and Freja grew stronger.

Men Frejas tanker blev tunge med Kaspers spørgsmål.

But Freja's thoughts were weighed down by Kasper's questions.

Skulle hun lytte til ham?

Should she listen to him?

En aften, da Tivolis pariserhjul svævede over haven, besluttede Freja sig for at tage Mads og Kasper med på en ærlig snak.

One evening, as Tivoli's Ferris wheel hovered over the garden, Freja decided to have an honest conversation with both Mads and Kasper.

Mens de tre sad øverst i pariserhjulet med udsigten over den sneklædte by, åbnede Freja op.

While the three of them sat at the top of the Ferris wheel with the view over the snow-clad city, Freja opened up.

"Mads, jeg kan godt lide dig," sagde hun ligefrem.

"Mads, I like you," she said straightforwardly.

"Men jeg er nødt til at vide, hvad du virkelig ønsker."

"But I need to know what you really want."

Mads tog en dyb indånding.

Mads took a deep breath.

"Freja, jeg ønsker bare at kende dig bedre.

"Freja, I just want to get to know you better.

Jeg har ikke mere end det på hjerte.

I don't have more than that in my heart.

Måske lidt håb om mere, men det haster ikke," svarede han ærligt.

Maybe a little hope for more, but there's no rush," he replied honestly.

Kasper så på dem begge.

Kasper looked at them both.

Inderst inde ønskede han Frejas lykke, og Mads syntes ærlig.

Deep down, he wanted Freja's happiness, and Mads seemed genuine.

"Jeg vil bare ikke have, du bliver såret, Freja," indrømmede han.

"I just don't want you to get hurt, Freja," he admitted.

Freja pillede ved sit armbånd og sagde stille, "Jeg forstår, Kasper.

Freja fiddled with her bracelet and said quietly, "I understand, Kasper.

Jeg vil tage det stille og roligt."

I will take it slow and steady."

Da pariserhjulet satte dem ned igen, indså alle tre, at de havde fundet en balance.

As the Ferris wheel let them down again, all three realized they had found a balance.

Mads og Freja tog de næste skridt forsigtigt, hånd i hånd, mens Kasper endelig slap lidt af sin frygt.

Mads and Freja took the next steps cautiously, hand in hand, while Kasper finally released some of his fear.

De nød den magiske vinter i Tivoli Gardens, trygge i tanken om, at denne nye rejse kun lige var begyndt, en skridt ad gangen.

They enjoyed the magical winter in Tivoli Gardens, secure in the thought that this new journey had only just begun, one step at a time.
