They could hardly wait to move some bloody consultants’ families into their houses, both Ove and Rune knew that very well.
Rune and Anita’s son moved away from home when he was twenty, in the early 1990s.
Apparently he went to America, Ove found out from Sonja. They hardly saw him again.
From time to time Anita had a telephone call around the time of Christmas,
but “he was so busy with his own things now,” as Anita said when she tried to keep her spirits up,
even though Sonja could see that she had to hold back her tears.
Some boys leave everything behind and never look back. That was all there was to it.
Rune never said anything about it. But to anyone who had known him a long time,
it was as if he shrank a couple of inches in the years that followed.
As if he sort of crumpled with a deep sigh and never really breathed properly again.
A few years later Rune and Ove fell out for the hundredth time about that collective heating system.
Ove stormed out of a Residents’ Association meeting, in a fury, and never returned.
