Freja trak sin uldne hat længere ned over ørene.

Freja pulled her woolen hat further down over her ears.

Vinden blæste skarpt langs Nyhavns kanal, men lyset fra de mange juledekorationer kastede en varm glød over det hele.

The wind blew sharply along Nyhavn’s canal, but the light from the many Christmas decorations cast a warm glow over everything.

Det var en kold vinterdag, men humøret var højt.

It was a cold winter day, but the mood was high.

Freja, Nikolaj og deres lillesøster Sofie havde en hyggelig dag sammen.

Freja, Nikolaj, and their little sister Sofie were having a cozy day together.

De gik langs de farverige huse, som turistbåde sejlede stille forbi.

They walked along the colorful houses as tourist boats quietly sailed by.

Freja smilede til Sofie, der grinte af noget Nikolaj havde sagt.

Freja smiled at Sofie, who laughed at something Nikolaj had said.

Sofie bar en stor rød hue, næsten for stor til hendes lille hoved, men den passede perfekt til hende.

Sofie wore a big red hat, almost too big for her little head, but it suited her perfectly.

Hendes begejstring for dagen var smittende.

Her enthusiasm for the day was contagious.

Freja havde en knude i maven, som hun ikke kunne ignorere.

Freja had a knot in her stomach that she couldn't ignore.

Hun havde modtaget et jobtilbud fra en prestigefyldt virksomhed i London.

She had received a job offer from a prestigious company in London.

Det var en drøm, som kunne åbne nye døre.

It was a dream that could open new doors.

Men hendes familie betød alt for hende.

But her family meant everything to her.

Hun var tynget af skyldfølelse ved tanken om at rejse væk fra dem.

She was weighed down with guilt at the thought of moving away from them.

Da de satte sig på en bænk ved kanalen for at tage en pause, rynkede Nikolaj panden og bemærkede hendes stilhed.

As they sat on a bench by the canal to take a break, Nikolaj frowned and noticed her silence.

"Freja, hvad går du og tænker på?"

"Freja, what are you thinking about?"

spurgte han.

he asked.

Freja tøvede.

Freja hesitated.

Grundet brød hun stilheden.

Slowly she broke the silence.

"Jeg har fået et jobtilbud i London," sagde hun forsigtigt.

"I've gotten a job offer in London," she said cautiously.

"Men det betyder, at jeg skal flytte."

"But it means I have to move."

Nikolaj nikkede langsomt.

Nikolaj nodded slowly.

"Det er en fantastisk mulighed, Freja.

"That's a fantastic opportunity, Freja.

Men du er bange for, hvad familien vil tænke."

But you're afraid of what the family will think."

Freja sukkede og så ud over vandet.

Freja sighed and looked out over the water.

"Ja.

"Yes.

Jeg ved ikke, hvordan mor og far vil tage det."

I don't know how mom and dad will take it."

Nikolaj sad et øjeblik stille.

Nikolaj sat quietly for a moment.

Han tog blidt Frejas hånd.

He gently took Freja’s hand.

"Du skal gøre, hvad der gør dig lykkelig.

"You must do what makes you happy.

Vi vil altid være her.

We will always be here.

Du kan komme hjem og besøge os, når du vil."

You can come home and visit us whenever you want."

Freja følte sig pludselig lettere.

Freja suddenly felt lighter.

Nikolaj havde altid været hendes støtte, og hans ord gav hende den tillid, hun manglede.

Nikolaj had always been her support, and his words gave her the confidence she lacked.

De sad der i stilhed og lod vinden bære bekymringerne væk.

They sat there in silence, letting the wind carry their worries away.

Da de rejste sig og fortsatte deres gåtur, var Frejas skridt lettere.

As they got up and continued their walk, Freja’s steps were lighter.

Hun vidste, hvad hun skulle gøre.

She knew what she had to do.

Freja fortalte senere sine forældre om beslutningen.

Freja later told her parents about her decision.

Hun blev overrasket over deres støtte.

She was surprised by their support.

De forstod hendes drømme og var stolte af, at hun turde følge dem.

They understood her dreams and were proud that she dared to follow them.

Selvom Freja snart skulle afsted til London, vidste hun, at Nyhavn, med dens farverige huse og minder, altid ville være hendes hjem.

Even though Freja would soon leave for London, she knew that Nyhavn, with its colorful houses and memories, would always be her home.

Hun glædede sig til nye eventyr, mens hun bevarede stærke bånd til sin familie.

She looked forward to new adventures while maintaining strong ties to her family.

Freja gik fremtiden i møde med modet hun først fandt ved vandet i Nyhavn.

Freja faced the future with the courage she first found by the water in Nyhavn.
