"When Ann first start to ask questions, she never stops, haha," Mother says.

                   Janokovic picks up his glass too, and for a brief second he lets his gaze glide from
                   her legs up to her eyes, and then finally fixing it on her legs again. Lissi doesn't

                   take notice of his intense staring; she's used to men liking her, especially when

                   she’s wearing her short skirt. She loves the attention; it makes her feel young
                   again. Once, Ann had noticed that there were a bunch of workmen back home at

                   their own tower block. They were repairing something in the street, she didn’t

                   remember, she just remembered them at the front door, shouting towards
                   mother: “Nice legs” and the other things to that extend.

                     "Let them look," Had Mother said when Ann noticed that it was her they were
                   talking about.

                     "Do you live here by yourself, Janokovic?" Mother asks.

                     "Yes, unfortunately. I have been traveling a lot, and just got back to Denmark a
                   month ago. I am actually from England. But I have lived in Denmark for the last

                   ten years. ”

                     "Well, that's why you don't have a wife, but just have cats," Ann interjects.
                     "I guess you can say that," he replies, trying to avoid the subject.

                     "Remember to properly feed your cats. It’s a hard job," says Janokovic.
                     "Yeah, I understand," Ann replies.

                     "Yes, you know, people are busy, far too busy. I was once far too busy myself."

                   Janokovic suddenly seems very distant as he utters those words, as if he was
                   thinking of something very specific in his past.

                     He snaps out of it.

                     "A last cigarette for the lady? He says
                     “Yes, one more, that’d be fine. We have to get back home soon,” says Lissi, taking

                   a cigarette from the jar on the table and pouring more beer in the glass. He

                   reaches out for Jano’s glass as well to refill. As she stretches across the table, her
                   skirt slides up again, now her panties are completely visible.

                     "Oh, yes please," replies Janokovic in a muted voice without moving his gaze

                   from Lissi's legs.
                     "Wasn't it great to live in England? I really wanna get over there. Do you still

                   have relations there? ” Ann asks eagerly, almost forgetting about the cat.
