The realization that one cannot fight men in white shirts.
And now they’re back. They haven’t been here since he and Sonja came home from Spain. After the accident.
A MAN WHO WAS OVE AND COUNTRIES WHERE THEY PLAY FOREIGN MUSIC IN RESTAURANTS
Of course, the bus tour was her idea. Ove couldn’t see the use of it.
If they had to go anywhere, why not just take the Saab?
But Sonja insisted that buses were “romantic,” and that sort of thing was incredibly important, Ove had learned.
So that’s how it ended up. Even though everyone in Spain seemed to think they were somehow exceptional
because they went around yawning and drinking and playing foreign music in restaurants and going to bed in the middle of the day.
Ove did his best not to like any of it. But Sonja got so worked up about it all that in the end it inevitably affected him too.
She laughed so loudly when he held her that he felt it through his whole body. Not even Ove could avoid liking it.
They stayed in a little hotel, with a little pool, and a little restaurant run by a man whose name, as Ove understood it, was Schosse.
It was spelled “José” but it seemed people weren’t too particular about pronunciation in Spain.
