Ove shifts his weight from his left foot to his right and peers around the premises.
He’s never liked cafés. Sonja, of course, loved them. Could sit in them for an entire Sunday “just looking at people,” as she put it.
Ove used to sit there with her, reading a newspaper. Every Sunday they did it.
He hasn’t put his foot in a café since she died. He looks up and realizes that Adrian, Parvaneh, and the cat are waiting for his answer.
“Coffee, then. Black.” Adrian scratches his hair under the cap.
“So... espresso?” “No. Coffee.” Adrian transfers his scratching from hair to chin.
“What... like black coffee?” “Yes.” “With milk?” “If it’s with milk it’s not black coffee.”
Adrian moves a couple of sugar bowls on the counter. Mainly to have something to do, so he doesn’t look too silly.
A bit late for that, thinks Ove. “Normal filter coffee. Normal bloody filter coffee,” Ove repeats.
Adrian nods. “Oh, that... Well. I don’t know how to make it.”
Ove points aggressively at the percolator in the corner, only barely visible behind a gigantic silver spaceship of a machine,
which, Ove understands, is what they use for making espresso.
