Bhí sé go luath ar maidin sa gheimhreadh, agus an sneachta ag titim go bog taobh amuigh.

It was early morning in winter, and the snow was softly falling outside.

Bhí an t-aer fuar ach taobh istigh den róstaire caife áitiúil, bhí an áit teolaí agus lán de bholadh taitneamhach na gcaifeanna úr-mheilte.

The air was cold, but inside the local coffee roaster, the place was cozy and filled with the delightful aroma of freshly ground coffees.

Bhí tolg mór le rogallán sa chúinne ann, agus bhí Niamh suite ann.

There was a large couch with a cushion in the corner, and Niamh was seated there.

Bhí sí ag súil le fuinneamh a fháil le haghaidh a cuid scríbhneoireachta.

She was hoping to gain some energy for her writing.

Bhí radharc iontach lasmuigh, ach choinnigh sí a súile ar a leabhar nótaí bán.

The view outside was wonderful, but she kept her eyes on her blank notebook.

Bhí sí ag lorg inspioráid ach ní raibh an scéal ag teacht.

She was searching for inspiration but the story was not coming.

Bhí sí bréan den bhloc sin, é ag cur brú uirthi.

She was tired of that block, it was pressuring her.

Ansin, tarlaíonn rud nár cheap sí riamh, nuair a tháinig Eoin, an barista bríomhar a bhí i mbun a chuid sona laethanta, in aice léi.

Then, something happened that she never expected, when Eoin, the lively barista who was in the midst of his happy days, came beside her.

“Conas atá tú inniu, Niamh?” arsa Eoin go cóiriciúil, agus leath-gháire air.

“How are you today, Niamh?” said Eoin courteously, with a half-smile.

“Tá mé ag iarracht scríobh, ach... níl sé éasca,” d'fhreagair sí, ag déanamh iarracht neamhbhá atá le mothú.

“I’m trying to write, but... it’s not easy,” she replied, trying to hide her frustration.

Chuir Eoin cupán caife te ar an mbord os a comhair.

Eoin placed a hot cup of coffee on the table in front of her.

“Is féidir le comhrá beag cabhrú uaireanta?

“Sometimes a little conversation can help?

Cad é mar d’fhéadfadh caife beag cumhachtach spreagadh a thabhairt duit?”

What if a little mighty coffee could inspire you?”

Bhí Niamh mhachnamhach.

Niamh was pensive.

Bhí a fhios aici go raibh aisling mhór ag Eoin a thosaíonn a shiopa caife féin i mBÁC, ach beidh dualgais an teaghlaigh ag cur intoirmeise air.

She knew Eoin had a big dream of starting his own coffee shop in BÁC, but family obligations were hindering him.

D'oscail sé a croí, agus chuir an caint sin í i mbun smaointe.

His openness touched her, and that talk set her thinking.

“Geallaim finné, b’fhéidir gur smaoineamh maith é brú a fháil uaidh seo.

“Honestly, maybe it's a good idea to draw strength from this.

Ní féidir a rá cá fhéadfadh sé gach rud a bheith," a dúirt Niamh leis, a bhí anois ag féachaint ar a leabhar nótaí arís le fiosracht úr.

You never know where everything could lead,” Niamh told him, now looking at her notebook again with fresh curiosity.

Leis an bplé a bhí ar siúl acu, thug Niamh faoi deara go raibh an solas sa tigh caife an-soilseach agus compordach.

With the discussion they were having, Niamh observed that the light in the coffee house was very bright and comfortable.

Sheas sí faoi dheifir agus thosaigh sí ag scríobh.

She stood up in a rush and began writing.

Díreach mar a bhí Eoin ag ceapadh go mbeadh uirthi imeacht, bhí sí ag smaoineamh go hiontach, ionspioráideach ar an leabhair.

Just as Eoin was thinking she would leave, she was struck with wonderful, inspiring thoughts for her book.

Bhí an siopa le dúnadh go luath mar gheall ar aimsir na hoíche, ach d'fhan Eoin thart beagán níos faide ag coinneáil an doras oscailte.

The shop was soon to close due to the evening's weather, but Eoin stayed around a little longer, keeping the door open.

Chonnaic sé an díograis i súile Niamh agus thosaigh sé ag smaoineamh go bhféadfadh sé tabhairt faoina bhrionglóid féin lá éigin le tacaíocht ó dhaoine mar Niamh.

He saw the enthusiasm in Niamh's eyes and began thinking he might pursue his own dream someday with the support of people like her.

Críochnaigh Niamh a dréacht agus dá bhrí sin tháinig athrú mór uirthi.

Niamh finished her draft and thus experienced a significant change.

Bhí sí buíoch don chuideachta agus an comhrá a spreagfadh a samhlaíocht.

She was grateful for the company and the conversation that sparked her imagination.

Ghabh sí buíochas le hEoin as a gcomhrá.

She thanked Eoin for their chat.

Bhí Eoin mothaí dearfach agus níos dána féachaint i ndiaidh a aisling féin.

Eoin felt positive and bolder about pursuing his own dream.

Agus sin mar a tharla go raibh nochtadh beag acu ar a chéile, rud a tháinig chun cinn ag bheith rud tábhachtach ar fad don bheirt acu ann sa róstaire caife beag, teolaí.

And that's how it happened that they had a little revelation with each other, something that turned out to be quite important for both of them there in the small, cozy coffee roaster.

Bhíomar ag druidim le deireadh an lae agus bhí cairdis comhraic nua aimsirthe an sneachta ag cruthú laoch taobh istigh den tirim i ngrúdlann chaife na sráidbhaile.

As the day was coming to a close, new friendships born in the snowy weather were forming heroes within the dry coffee house of the village.
