“The authorities have said they’ll take him from me and put him in a home,” she manages to say.
Ove puts his hands in his pockets again and determinedly backs away, across his threshold.
He’s heard enough of this. In the meantime the Lanky One seems to have decided it’s time to change the subject and lighten up the atmosphere.
He points at the floor in Ove’s hall. “What’s that?” Ove turns to look at the bit of floor exposed by the loose plastic sheet.
It looks as if you’ve got, sort of... tire marks on the floor. Do you cycle indoors, or what?” says the Lanky One.
Parvaneh keeps her observant eyes on Ove as he backs away another step so he can impede the Lanky One’s view.
“It’s nothing.” “But I can see it’s—” the Lanky One begins confusedly.
“It was Ove’s wife, Sonja, she was—” Rune’s wife interrupts him in a friendly manner,
but she only has time to get to the name “Sonja” when Ove, in turn, interrupts her and spins around with unbridled fury in his eyes.
“That’ll do! Now you SHUT UP!” All four of them fall silent, equally shocked.
Ove’s hands tremble as he steps back into his hall and slams the door.
He hears Parvaneh’s soft voice out there asking Rune’s wife what all that was about.
