“Shit. Ove would have hated this, wouldn’t he?” And then she laughs. Because he really would have.
In the evening she shows a young, recently married couple around Ove and Sonja’s house.
The woman is pregnant. Her eyes glitter as she walks through the rooms,
the way eyes glitter when a person imagines her child’s future memories unfolding there on the floor.
Her husband is obviously much less pleased with the place.
He’s wearing a pair of carpenter’s trousers and he mostly goes around kicking the baseboards suspiciously and looking annoyed.
Parvaneh obviously knows it doesn’t make any difference; she can see in the girl’s eyes that the decision has already been made.
But when the young man asks in a sullen tone about “that garage place” mentioned in the ad,
Parvaneh looks him up and down carefully, nods drily, and asks what car he drives.
The young man straightens up for the first time, smiles an almost undetectable smile,
and looks her right in the eye with the sort of indomitable pride that only one word can convey. “Saab.”
