It: Un rossore gli salì alle guance.
En: A blush rose to his cheeks.

It: "Mi dispiace..." iniziò a dire, imbarazzato, ma Giulia scoppiò a ridere, un suono melodioso che lo fece rilassare.
En: "I'm sorry..." he began to say, embarrassed, but Giulia burst into laughter, a melodious sound that made him relax.

It: "Lorenzo, sei unico!"
En: "Lorenzo, you are one of a kind!"

It: disse tra le risate.

It: "Forse dovremmo provare un gusto diverso insieme?"

It: Anche lui iniziò a ridere.
En: He began to laugh too.
