"The hero always comes down the stairs"

Emmalee astus treppidest alla, pilk suunatud sinna, kus esik, avanenud ja sulgunud uks, naisehääl tema isaga vestlemas, viisakusi vahetamas ja siis ta nägi teda. Isa oli just tema õlgadelt kerget suvemantlit võtmas. Peened käsivarred, valgetest pärlitest käevõru. Elsa märkas teda ja naeratas talle. Thomas tutvustas teda seepeale ja kutsus ta sisse. Nad läksid elutuppa, Tom sättis neiud diivanile istuma ja läks kõrvalasuvasse kööki teed tegema. Elsa vaatas talle järele ja mõtles valjusti: "Olen alati lahtist kööki tahtnud", ja Emma vastas veidi häbelikult ja vaikselt: "Meil on kraanikausi kohal aken ka. Seal on põõsad, milles on alati linde. Nõude pesemise ajal saab linde vaadata" - "Mulle meeldivad linnud, eriti pisikesed" - "Mulle ka. Meil on linnubassein ka, aias." Tom naasis ja sekkus kohe vestlusse: "Kui oleks täna väljas soojem, võiksime aias istuda. Loodan, et daamid ei pahanda, et küpsiseid ka tõin ja Em, sulle vist maitsevad need" - "Rohelised viinamarjad! Aitäh, isa!" ja Elsa küsis: "Kas ma võin? Need näevad isuäratavad välja", ja Em lubas.
Kui Elsa minema hakkas, rääkisid nad vaikselt - Em oli just magama läinud, nad ei tahtnud teda üles ajada. "Tundub, et sa meeldid talle. Täpsustame näiteks homme, helistan" - "Jah, ootan su kõnet", soovisid siis teineteisele head õhtut ja Elsa jalutas süttivate laternate valguses öhhe.

Emmalee came down the stairs, her eyes set there, where the hallway, the door what had opened and closed, a woman’s voice talking with her father, exchanging frases of politeness and then she saw her. Father was just taking her light summer coat from her shoulders. Thin arms, a bracelet of white pearls. Elsa noticed her and smiled to her. Thomas introduced her and then invited her in. They went to the living room, Tom settled the ladies on the couch and went to the kitchen to make some tea. Elsa followed him with her glance and thought out loud:”I’ve always wanted an open kitchen” and Emma replied in a bit of a shy quiet voice: “We have a window too, above the sink. There are bushes there and in these are always birds. You can watch birds while washing dishes” – “I love birds, especially the little ones” – “Me too. We have a bird pool too, in the garden”. Tome came back and joined the conversation right away: “If it would be warmer outside tonight, we could sit in the garden. I hope that the ladies don’t mind, that I brought cookies too and Em, I think you like these” – “Green grapes! Thank you, dad!” and Elsa asked: “May I, They look delicious” and Em said yes.
When Elsa was about to leave, they spoke in lowered voices – Em had just went to bed and they didn’t want to wake her up. “Seems, that she has taken a liking to you. We can talk about details tomorrow, I’ll call” – “Yes, Ill be waiting for your call”, they said goodnight and Elsa walked, in the glimmer of street lanterns just lighting up, into the night.
