As she bends over to take a sip of her glass, the cat gives off a hiss, as to indicate

that she’s hasn’t moved her properly.
"What's wrong, kitty?" she says, turning the kitten over on her back.

"Ahh yeah, I’ve always wanted to go to England as well, I've never been either,"

says Mother. Her big, green eyes suddenly come alive from all the beer and the
talk of England. They have often talked about going. The last time they talked

about it, they thought about going when Ann finished seventh grade, but there’s

still another year that have to pass. They haven’t been outside of Denmark in
seven years; they only went to Jutland to mother's old boyfriend who lives in

Billund, near Legoland. The last time they were over there, Frank got so drunk
that he and Mother got into a hefty argument, almost a fight.

"My family actually from Croatia originally, but my mother and I moved to

England when I was a boy," says Janokovic.
"Well, I thought so too, because your name, Janokovic, doesn't really sound

English," says Ann, proud of herself for guessing correct.

"Precisely,” says Janokovic and for the first time he smiles.
“Well, now we don't have to bother you any further. Drink up, Anny. Let’s get

going. And don’t forget your cat.”
Lissi gets up and pulls her skirt down, which keeps crawling up, she’s making a

nod to Ann, as to signal that they should leave.

“Hate it had to end, I was having a good time. I rarely get visitors anymore,” says
Janokovic in a brutally honest fashion. “If you feel like it, you can come by one

day next week. I could make dinner for you with Yugoslavian food, Cevapi and

Vegeta. "
“I’ve always wondered with Balkan food tasted like, so I’d be very happy to join

you, so the cats can meet. Right, Mother?” says Ann with a naïve tone in her

voice.
"Well, thank you for the offer, but I just have to check with my work if it’s

possible. I’m cleaning in the evening. Maybe Wednesday. I’ll let you know in a

few days," says Lissi and walks out into the hallway. She looks at herself in the
large mirror hanging on the wall, again straightening her skirt.

"Let me open the door for you. And they say chivalry is dead, haha,” says
Janokovic noticeably amused by his own words.
