Bhí fuacht an gheimhridh ag rince thart ar na hAillte an lá sin.

The winter cold was dancing around the Aillte that day.

Bhí an spéir liath agus an fharraige ag bualadh go díograiseach i gcoinne na gcarraigeacha mórthimpeall.

The sky was gray, and the sea was beating earnestly against the rocks all around.

Bhí Aoife agus Cian ag ullmhú don turas laethúil, cé go raibh turasóirí beag ní ba lú ann ná mar is gnách an t-am seo den bhliain.

Aoife and Cian were preparing for the daily tour, although there were fewer tourists than usual at this time of year.

Bhí Aoife sásta laethanta a chaitheamh ag míniú stair na hÉireann do dhaoine eile.

Aoife was happy to spend her days explaining the history of Éireann to others.

Ach, bhí dúil aici i gcathair Bháile Átha Cliath mar áit nua le deiseanna gan áireamh.

However, she had an interest in the city of Baile Átha Cliath as a new place with innumerable opportunities.

Bhí athrach saoil ag tpion Aoife anseo i mohar, ach theastaigh uaithi níos mó.

Aoife was beginning a life change here in mohar, but she wanted more.

Bhí fonn uirthi dul i mbun staidéir agus bualadh le daoine nua i gcathair ghalánta na Gaillimhe.

She had a desire to pursue studies and meet new people in the elegant city of Gaillimh.

Ní raibh Cian ar an eolas faoi sin, ba bhreá leis a shaol mar atá sé ag an Aillte.

Cian was unaware of this; he loved his life as it was at the Aillte.

"Ná rachaimis go Baile Átha Cliath do Lá Fhéile Vailintín?

"Shall we go to Baile Átha Cliath for Lá Fhéile Vailintín?"

" a d'iarr Aoife go mealltach ar Chian, ag breathnú air le súile geal dóchasacha.

Aoife asked enticingly, looking at Cian with bright, hopeful eyes.

Ní raibh Cian ró-pháirteach, ach mheas sé cuairt gairid a thabhairt uirthi.

Cian wasn't too involved, but he considered paying her a short visit.

Le linn an turais, bhí siad ag seasamh ar imeall na n-aillte, ag faire ar na tonnta móra ag briseadh.

During the trip, they stood at the edge of the cliffs, watching the big waves crashing.

D'ealaigh Aoife a cófra istigh.

Aoife took a deep breath.

"Cian, tá rud éigin le rá agam," a dúirt sí go mall.

"Cian, I have something to say," she said slowly.

D'fhéach Cian uirthi, a aghaidh socair agus aclaí.

Cian looked at her, his face calm and attentive.

"Tá fonn orm dul go Béal Átha Cliath go buan," a dúirt sí go híseal ach go láidir.

"I want to go to Béal Átha Cliath permanently," she said quietly but firmly.

"Teastaíonn uaim rudaí nua a thriail agus deiseanna nua a fháil.

"I want to try new things and find new opportunities.

Tuigeann tú, nach ndéanfaidh?

You understand, don't you?"

"Bhí Cian i dtost ar feadh nóiméid, an ghaoth ag spalpadh go mín ina aghaidh.

Cian was silent for a moment, the wind gently lapping against his face.

"Níor smaoinigh mé ar Éireann a fhágáil," a dúirt sé faoi dheireadh.

"I never thought of leaving Éireann," he said finally.

"Ach tá aithne agam ort, a ghrá, agus más í sin do mhian, beidh mé anseo chun tacaíocht a thabhairt duit.

"But I know you, my love, and if that's your desire, I'll be here to support you."

"D'fill tear nua i súile Aoife, ní mar gheall ar bhrón, ach mar gheall ar ghrá agus tuigbheáil.

A new tear appeared in Aoife's eyes, not because of sadness, but because of love and understanding.

Bhí sí bródúil as a misneach seo a léiriú agus níos cumhachtaí as tacaíocht Chian.

She was proud of her courage in expressing this and empowered by Cian's support.

Ag teacht am réitithe ar an aisling nua seo, shocraigh siad go dtiocfaidh athrú, bíodh i mohar nó ansin i Béal Átha Cliath.

As they embraced the prospect of this new dream, they decided that change would come, whether here or in Béal Átha Cliath.

Bhí a gceangal ní ba láidre anois.

Their bond was now stronger.

Agus sainigh Aoife a topaíon go me fearless hunt.

And Aoife defined her goal to be a fearless hunter of dreams.

Leanadar, ar ais ag obair, ag instealladh dánghlais leis na turasóirí.

They continued, back at work, enthusing the tourists.

Ach anois, bhí todhchaí oscailte rompu, plódaithe le húireachtaí nua, ardmhonar agus grá gan choinne.

But now, a future lay open before them, filled with new adventures, great achievements, and unexpected love.
