English term

anticipation of the night

English to Persian (Farsi) Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
She didn’t know what it all entailed, but she would figure it out. Instead they started walking. They didn’t say a word; still, she seemed to feel better with each step as if the anticipation of the night was wafting off of her as she moved. She felt Renard relax too.

salaam,
could you help me in translating this sentence:"she seemed to feel better ... as she moved" ?

تصوراتش از آن شب

This must be interpreted with an eye on the first sentence in the text "She didn’t know what it all entailed". Which means او نمی‌دانست که چه باید کرد/ که در این شب چه کار می‌کنند.
She had formed a pre-conception of the night. She felt a bit uneasy with these sort-of-ill preconceptions, but as they walked together all those wafted off of her.

انتظارش از آن شب

یا: آنچه آن شب منتظرش بود/ پیش‌بینی‌اش از آن شب
انگار حال بهتری داشت؛ گویی با هر قدمی که برمی‌داشت آنچه آن شب انتظارش را داشت از او زدوده می‌شد.
با هر قدم حالش بهتر می‌شد؛ گویی همان طور که راه می‌رفت تصوراتی که از آن شب داشت در هوا گم می‌شد.

agree Younes Mostafaei : You almost got it. It just needs a polish up. P.S. Sorry I didn't see that! :(

Thank you! I had also proposed تصورات in my third suggestion! ;)
agree Sajad Mousavi : Agree with the 3rd suggestion. «در هوا گم می‌شد» is artistic! I think adding «ذره ذره» would help preserve the image.
