"Jeg er her.

"I'm here."

"Sigrid smilte, men kjente en skygge av tvil.

Hun bestemte seg for å presse videre.

"Stol på meg, det går bra," sa Lars med vennlig stemme.

Sigrid took a deep breath.

Hun lente seg på Lars, og sammen klarte de å sette maleriet opp.

She leaned on Lars, and together they managed to set up the painting.

Publikum så på i stillhet.

Da applausen begynte å fylle rommet, følte Sigrid en følelse av triomf bryte gjennom svimmelheten.
