Story Transcript:

Nl: De klok tikte onverbiddelijk in het postkantoor waar Bram en Sanne stonden.
En: The clock ticked inexorably in the post office where Bram and Sanne stood.

Nl: Het was een koude winterdag, en buiten bedekte een dunne sneeuwlaag de stoepen.
En: It was a cold winter day, and outside, a thin layer of snow covered the sidewalks.

Nl: Binnen was het druk; mensen haastten zich om hun laatste feestelijke inkopen te doen.
En: Inside, it was busy; people hurried to do their last festive shopping.

Nl: Tussen de geur van dennennaalden en de vrolijke restjes van kerstversiering, stond Bram met een bezorgde blik.
En: Amidst the scent of pine needles and the cheerful remnants of Christmas decorations, Bram stood with a worried look.

Nl: "Bram, hoe kan je nou vergeten zijn om Nieuwjaarskaarten te kopen?"
En: "Bram, how could you forget to buy New Year's cards?"

Nl: vroeg Sanne terwijl ze met haar hand tegen zijn arm tikte.
En: asked Sanne, tapping her hand against his arm.

Nl: Ze was altijd de georganiseerde van de twee, en hoewel ze wist dat Bram wel vaker belangrijke dingen vergat, probeerde ze hem te helpen.
En: She was always the organized one of the two, and although she knew Bram often forgot important things, she tried to help him.

Nl: Bram haalde zijn schouders op.
En: Bram shrugged.

Nl: "Ik weet het niet, Sanne.
En: "I don't know, Sanne.

Nl: Alles ging zo snel dit jaar."
En: Everything went so fast this year."

Nl: Sanne zuchtte en trok hem mee naar het rek met kaarten.
En: Sanne sighed and pulled him over to the card rack.

Nl: "Kijk, we hebben niet veel tijd.
En: "Look, we don't have much time.

Nl: Over een kwartiertje sluiten ze de kassa."
En: The register closes in fifteen minutes."

Nl: Het rek was bijna leeg.
En: The rack was almost empty.

Nl: De meeste kaarten waren al uitverkocht, en de opties die overbleven waren niet bepaald Bram's stijl.
En: Most of the cards were already sold out, and the remaining options weren't exactly Bram's style.

Nl: Hij hield van kaarten met een persoonlijke touch, maar nu leek dat onmogelijk.
En: He liked cards with a personal touch, but now that seemed impossible.

Nl: Terwijl hij door de kaarten bladerde, voelde hij de druk van de klok.
En: As he flipped through the cards, he felt the pressure of the clock.

Nl: "Wat dacht je van deze?"
En: "What about this one?"

Nl: vroeg Sanne, wijzend op een kaart met een simpele tekst: "Gelukkig Nieuwjaar!"
En: Sanne asked, pointing to a card with a simple text: "Happy New Year!"

Nl: Bram trok een gezicht.
En: Bram made a face.

Nl: "Ze zijn wel heel simpel," klaagde hij.
En: "They're so simple," he complained.

Nl: "Maar het is nu of nooit," zei Sanne vastberaden.
En: "But it's now or never," Sanne said determinedly.

Nl: "Kies gewoon iets!
En: "Just choose something!

Nl: Soms is het beter om niet perfect te zijn."
En: Sometimes it's better not to be perfect."

Nl: Bram knikte uiteindelijk en pakte een stapel van de overgebleven kaarten.
En: Bram eventually nodded and grabbed a stack of the remaining cards.

Nl: "Oké, je hebt gelijk.
En: "Okay, you're right.

Nl: Laten we gewoon gaan."
En: Let's just go."

Nl: Met nog maar een paar minuten over tot sluitingstijd,...
