The two men shook their heads in mutual disbelief and stared out into the darkness. Sat in silence. “The grass needs cutting,” said Rune at last.
“I bought new blades for the mower.” Ove nodded. “How much did you pay for them?”
And so their friendship went on. In the evenings, Sonja played music for her belly, because she said it made the child move.

It wasn’t that Ove was afraid. He just didn’t know how to prepare himself for fatherhood.
