The cat lifts its head to find out what all the commotion is about,
then concludes that all this is sensationally uninteresting and snuggles back into Parvaneh’s lap.
Or rather, her belly. “So it’s not being handed in somewhere?” Patrick wonders, scrutinizing the feline.
The cat lifts its head a little, hissing briefly at him by way of an answer.
“What do you mean, ‘handed in’?” Ove says, cutting him short.
“Well... to a cat home or someth—” Patrick begins, but gets no further before Ove bawls: “No one’s being handed in to any bloody home!”
And with this, the subject is exhausted. Patrick tries not to look startled.
Parvaneh tries not to burst out laughing. Neither really manages.
“Can’t we stop off somewhere for something to eat?” Jimmy interjects and adjusts his seat position; the Saab starts swaying.
Ove looks at the group assembled around him, as if he’s been kidnapped and taken to a parallel universe.
For a moment he thinks about swerving off the road,
until he realizes that the worst-case scenario would be that they all accompanied him into the afterlife.
