Tiago sentou-se num banco de madeira nos jardins mágicos de Sintra.
Tiago sat on a wooden bench in the magical gardens of Sintra.
O verão estava em pleno, e os raios dourados do sol iluminavam as flores de girassol a balançar suavemente.
Summer was in full swing, and the golden rays of the sun illuminated the sunflowers swaying gently.
Era um cenário perfeito para escrever.
It was a perfect setting for writing.
Ele procurava inspiração no meio da beleza natural, mas havia um novo problema.
He was seeking inspiration amidst the natural beauty, but there was a new problem.
Tiago tinha começado a espirrar e a coçar os olhos sem parar.
Tiago had started sneezing and rubbing his eyes incessantly.
Sunflower pollen caÃa como chuva dourada à sua volta, e a sua recente alergia não estava a facilitar o trabalho.
Sunflower pollen fell like golden rain around him, and his recent allergy wasn't making the work any easier.
Inês, que adorava aventuras ao ar livre, explorava as trilhas sinuosas do parque, sempre atenta ao perfume das flores e à brisa suave que ali soprava.
Inês, who loved outdoor adventures, was exploring the winding trails of the park, always attentive to the scent of the flowers and the soft breeze blowing there.
Desconhecendo a nova alergia de Tiago, ela chamava-o de vez em quando, rindo das suas próprias descobertas botânicas.
Unaware of Tiago's new allergy, she called out to him from time to time, laughing at her own botanical discoveries.
Tiago sabia que tinha de aguentar.
Tiago knew he had to endure it.
Havia uma razão especial para ele suportar o desconforto.
There was a special reason for him to put up with the discomfort.
Estava há semanas a planear pedir Inês em casamento, e Sintra parecia o cenário de um sonho.
He had been planning to propose to Inês for weeks, and Sintra seemed like a dream setting.
Cada castelo e caminho verde era uma página de conto de fadas.
Every castle and green path was a page from a fairy tale.
Ele tinha o anel no bolso, esperando o momento perfeito.
He had the ring in his pocket, waiting for the perfect moment.
Mas o tempo estava contra ele.
But time was not on his side.
O nariz de Tiago estava vermelho e os espirros eram cada vez mais frequentes.
Tiago's nose was red, and the sneezes were becoming more frequent.
Decidido a seguir com o plano, ele quis encontrar um lugar mais isolado, num canto dos jardins que parecia ter saÃdo de uma pintura antiga.
Determined to go through with the plan, he wanted to find a more secluded spot in a corner of the gardens that seemed to have come out of an old painting.
As flores faziam um arco natural, e as árvores ofereciam uma sombra encantadora.
The flowers formed a natural arch, and the trees offered enchanting shade.
Justo quando ele estava prestes a ajoelhar-se, um forte espirro escapuliu-lhe, fazendo com que Inês parasse.
Just as he was about to kneel, a strong sneeze escaped him, causing Inês to stop.
"Tiago, estás bem?
"Tiago, are you alright?"
", perguntou ela, preocupada.
she asked, concerned.
"Parece que estás mesmo mal."
"You seem really unwell."
"É... a alergia...", tentou ele dizer entre tosses.
"It's... the allergy..." he tried to say between coughs.
Inês, sempre atenta, tomou-lhe a mão e decidiu que era hora de falarem a sério.
Inês, always attentive, took his hand and decided it was time to talk seriously.
"Tenho algo para te dizer também", começou ela, hesitante.
"I have something to tell you too," she began, hesitant.
"Recebi uma oferta de trabalho no exterior.
"I received a job offer abroad.
Queria contar-te, mas não sabia como."
I wanted to tell you, but I didn't know how."
A revelação apanhou Tiago de surpresa, mas também trouxe uma oportunidade de diálogo sincero.
The revelation took Tiago by surprise, but it also brought an opportunity for sincere dialogue.
Os dois sentaram-se, deixando de lado planos grandiosos por um momento, para falar sobre o que realmente importava: o futuro deles, juntos.
The two sat down, setting aside grand plans for a moment, to talk about what really mattered: their future together.
Após discussões abertas, transparecendo amor e compreensão, Tiago percebeu que gestos grandiosos não eram tudo.
After open discussions, filled with love and understanding, Tiago realized that grand gestures weren't everything.
Era necessário diálogo e partilha.
Dialogue and sharing were necessary.
Inês entendeu a importância de tomar decisões conjuntas.
Inês understood the importance of making decisions together.
Com o sol a descer no horizonte, Sintra continuava a ser mágica.
With the sun setting on the horizon, Sintra remained magical.
Não era a proposta que Tiago tinha planeado, mas era um novo começo juntos.
It wasn't the proposal Tiago had planned, but it was a new beginning together.
E ali, ao som do canto dos passarinhos, decidiram que Sintra não seria o fim da história deles, mas apenas o inÃcio de uma nova aventura.
And there, to the sound of birds singing, they decided that Sintra wouldn't be the end of their story, but just the beginning of a new adventure.
