Mi piaceva la mia collega Laura da tre mesi. Every morning she greeted me with a smile that made me lose my words. Ogni mattina mi salutava con un sorriso che mi faceva restare senza parole. I wanted to ask her out, but I was afraid of ruining our friendship. Volevo chiederle di uscire, ma avevo paura di rovinare la nostra amicizia. During lunch I practiced phrases in my head again and again. Durante la pausa pranzo ripetevo frasi nella mia testa più e più volte. That afternoon I told Marta about my problem. Quel pomeriggio ho parlato a Marta del mio problema. She listened carefully and laughed because I looked too serious. Mi ha ascoltato con attenzione e ha riso perché avevo un'aria troppo seria. Marta said a simple invitation was better than a perfect speech. Marta ha detto che un invito semplice era meglio di un discorso perfetto. At home I wrote three different messages on my phone. A casa ho scritto tre messaggi diversi sul telefono. Each message sounded strange, so I deleted all of them. Ogni messaggio suonava strano, quindi li ho cancellati tutti. Finally I decided to invite her in person the next day. Alla fine ho deciso di invitarla di persona il giorno dopo. The next morning I had butterflies in my stomach. La mattina dopo avevo le farfalle nello stomaco. Laura entered the office with a blue scarf and a warm hello. Laura è entrata in ufficio con una sciarpa blu e un ciao caloroso. We met near the coffee machine before the meeting. Ci siamo incontrati vicino alla macchina del caffè prima della riunione. I tried to speak, but someone arrived and interrupted us.

During the meeting I could not follow the presentation very well. Durante la riunione non riuscivo a seguire molto bene la presentazione. I only thought about the question I wanted to ask her. Pensavo solo alla domanda che volevo farle. After work I saw Laura putting on her coat. Dopo il lavoro ho visto Laura che si metteva il cappotto. My hands were cold, but I walked toward her anyway. Avevo le mani fredde, ma ho camminato comunque verso di lei. I said her name softly and asked if she had a minute. Ho detto il suo nome piano e le ho chiesto se aveva un minuto. She turned around with a curious smile. Si è girata con un sorriso curioso. I took a deep breath and invited her to have dinner on Friday. Ho fatto un respiro profondo e l'ho invitata a cena venerdì. My voice shook a little, but the words finally came out. La voce mi tremava un po', ma alla fine le parole sono uscite. Laura was quiet for a few seconds that felt very long. Laura è rimasta in silenzio per qualche secondo che è sembrato lunghissimo. Then she smiled and said she would like that very much. Poi ha sorriso e ha detto che le sarebbe piaciuto molto. I almost answered too quickly, so I forced myself to stay calm. Ho quasi risposto troppo in fretta, quindi mi sono imposto di mantenere la calma. We agreed to meet at a small Italian restaurant near the park. Ci siamo messi d'accordo per vederci in un piccolo ristorante italiano vicino al parco. When I left the building, the evening air felt lighter than usual. Quando ho lasciato l'edificio, l'aria della sera sembrava più leggera del solito. I sent Marta a message to tell her Laura had said yes. Ho mandato un messaggio a Marta per dirle che Laura aveva detto di sì. On the way home I smiled because fear had not won that day. Tornando a casa sorridevo perché quel giorno la paura non aveva vinto.
