Rīgas kafejnīca bija maza un mājīga, ar vienmērīgu sarunu murdoņu un vieglu kafijas aromātu gaisā.

The Rīgas café was small and cozy, with a steady hum of conversation and a light aroma of coffee in the air.

Ārpus loga sniga sniega pārslas, veidojot ziemīgu ainavu, kura radīja mieru.

Outside the window, snowflakes were falling, creating a wintry landscape that brought peace.

Jānis un Anete sēdēja pie neliela galdiņa pie loga.

Jānis and Anete sat at a small table by the window.

Jānis bija uzvilcies, viņa rokas nedaudz trīcēja.

Jānis was tense, his hands trembling slightly.

Šodien viņš cerēja uzjautāt Anetei par skolas balli, kas notiks Valentīndienā.

Today, he hoped to ask Anete about the school dance that would take place on Valentine's Day.

Anete uzmanīgi klausījās, ko Jānis stāstīja par viņa matemātikas stundām.

Anete was listening attentively to what Jānis was saying about his math classes.

Viņa bija mazliet kautrīga, bet interese par Jāni un to, ko viņš teiks tālāk, sildīja sirdi.

She was a bit shy, but her interest in Jānis and what he would say next warmed her heart.

Anete domāja par to, vai Jānis būs īstais puisis viņai, jo klusumā kaut kas spīdēja viņa sirdī.

Anete wondered whether Jānis would be the right guy for her, as something shone in his heart in the silence.

"Mīlēšu ziemu," Jānis piesardzīgi iesāka, skatoties uz sniega pārslām, kas krīt aiz loga.

"I will love winter," Jānis began cautiously, looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window.

"Un Valentīndiena. Izejam uz ko īpašu?"

"And Valentine's Day. Shall we do something special?"

Anete smaida, priecīga par temata maiņu.

Anete smiled, pleased with the change of topic.

"Jā, Valentīndiena varētu būt lieliska," viņa teica, skatoties uz Jāni.

"Yes, Valentine's Day could be wonderful," she said, looking at Jānis.

Viņa vēlējās zināt vairāk par viņa plāniem. Tas nozīmēja, ka doma patika.

She wanted to know more about his plans. That meant she liked the idea.

Jānis sirdī juta nelielu trīsas vilni.

Jānis felt a slight wave of tremor in his heart.

Viņam bija laiks izteikt jautājumu, kas viņa prātā bija jau dažas dienas.

It was time to express the question that had been on his mind for a few days.

"Tu esi dzirdējusi par skolas balli? Vai tev būtu interesanti... doties uz to kopā ar mani?"

"Have you heard about the school dance? Would you be interested... in going there with me?"

Pēc mazākās pauzes Anete pasmaidīja plaši.

After the briefest pause, Anete smiled broadly.

"Jā, Jāni, tas būtu ļoti jauki," viņa teica, sildošam smaidam starojot.

"Yes, Jānis, that would be very nice," she said, her warm smile radiating.

Viņa bija laimīga, un Jānis jutuši, kā no sirds akmens smagais krīt.

She was happy, and Jānis felt the heavy stone drop from his heart.

Kad viņi atstāja kafejnīcu, viņi bija pilni cerību.

When they left the café, they were full of hope.

Viņš apzinājās, ka tagad viņš var būt atklātāks par savām jūtām pret Aneti.

He realized that now he could be more open about his feelings for Anete.

Ziemas vējš pūta aiz loga, bet Jānis un Anete gāja roku rokā, sirdīs ideāli jūtoties nepiepildīti, gatavi piedzīvot Valentīndienas deju kopā, cerot uz mīlestības potīklu un jaunu sākumu.

The winter wind blew outside the window, but Jānis and Anete walked hand in hand, feeling perfect and unfulfilled in their hearts, ready to experience the Valentine's Day dance together, hoping for a tangle of love and a new beginning.
