Pb: Do outro lado, Rafael já armava sua piada.
En: On the other side, Rafael was already setting up his joke.
Pb: "Ei, Lucas, vai querer sorvete?

Pb: ", disse ele rindo.

Pb: O que foi?
En: What is it?"
Pb: ", ela perguntou gentilmente.
En: she asked gently.
Pb: Respirando fundo, ele falou, com todas as palavras que conseguiu juntar: "Eu gosto de você.
En: Taking a deep breath, he spoke, with all the words he could gather: "I like you.
Pb: Mais do que como amiga."
En: More than as a friend."
Pb: Mariana ficou surpresa.
En: Mariana was surprised.
Pb: Não esperava aquilo, mas a surpresa logo cedeu a um sorriso suave.
En: She didn't expect that, but the surprise soon gave way to a gentle smile.
