She makes tiny whirring sounds with her lips to irritate her husband.
It works quite effectively. Both on the Lanky One and on Ove. Ove gives up.
He goes into the hall, hangs up his suit jacket, puts down the hammer-action drill, puts on his clogs, and walks past them both towards the shed.
He’s pretty sure neither of them even notices him. He hears them still bickering as he starts backing out with the ladder.
“Go on, help him then, Patrick,” Parvaneh bursts out when she catches sight of him.
The Lanky One takes a few steps towards him, with fumbling movements.
Ove keeps his eyes on him, as if watching a blind man at the wheel of a crowded city bus.
And only after that does Ove realize that, in his absence, his property has been invaded by yet another person.
Rune’s wife, Anita, from farther down the street, is standing next to Parvaneh, blithely watching the spectacle.
Ove decides the only rational response must be to pretend that she’s doing no such thing.
He feels anything else would only encourage her. He hands the Lanky One a cylindrical case with a set of neatly sorted Allen keys.
“Oh, look how many there are,” says the imbecile thoughtfully, gazing into the case.
