Adrian nods quickly and disappears into the kitchen. After a minute or so he comes back with a big toolbox, which he quickly takes to the exit.
“And you be quiet,” Ove says to Parvaneh. She smirks in a way that suggests she has no intention of keeping quiet.
“I only brought the bicycle here so he wouldn’t mess about in the sheds back home...” Ove adds.
“Sure, sure,” says Parvaneh with a laugh. “Oh, hey,” says Adrian as the soot-eyed boy appears again a moment later. “This is my boss.”

who has barricaded himself behind the counter of his café.
“The kid’s going to fix a bicycle,” answers Ove as if this were something plain and obvious.
“Where do you keep the filters for real coffee?” The soot-eyed boy points at one of the shelves.
Ove squints at him. “Is that makeup?” Parvaneh hushes him.
Ove looks insulted. “What? What’s wrong with asking?”
The boy smiles a little nervously. “Yes, it’s makeup.”
