Speaker 3: He wanted to help Juliette with all his heart, even

96
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:40,879
though his own emotions were confusing him.

97
00:07:41,439 --> 00:07:45,279
Speaker 5: Etien a vetujo de sntimond la voui pourelles.

00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,919

00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:03,480

Speaker 3: Yet a glance at Etienne reminded her of the importance

128
00:09:44,759 --> 00:09:46,000
of what she wanted to tell him.

Speaker 3: Around mid evening, when the room exuded a warm and

132
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,720
friendly vibe, Etienne took a deep breath.

133

00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 3: He approached Juliette, his voice barely audible despite the noise

136
00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:13,600
around them.

156
00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:35,159
Speaker 3: This confession, hidden in the calm of the hallway, opened

157
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,039
a new chapter for Juliette and Etienne.
