The dispute

This is Mamas meeting with the angry young man while the other two is calming affects.

He stood there with his arms crossed on the veranda as the three women went up the hill to

meet him. Mama started with plump words. He argued back from irritated to aggressive words

almost raised hand to hit, then her friend jumps in which he doesn´t know for to ask him to

calm down.

Just words were flying across about history past events and how someone should have

done this and that. Accusations with no reality connection.

Would you like some coffee?
- No thanks we're not staying.
- No, I don't want any.
- No (wish I could say yes but I can not cross them, her eyes says)

He walks inside and comes out again with a strange cigarette holder with liquid in it

and sits down on the sofa outdoors.

- What is that? the young woman wonder pointing at the strange cig.

- Electric cigarett, want some?

- No I don´t smoke (is it not something else he´s smoking? she wonders on)

Now he's relaxed.

- You didn´t have to come here, you could just have made a phone call.

- We needed to see what has been done to this place, I took the lawn mover with in the car, but see

you have cut the grass, wanted to see how you are doing  of course. I am taking some laundry from

here. We come back in so and so time when vacation start. Some people work hard all year and

then want to get some spare time at the summer cottage, we´ll have friends as sleepover guests as

well.

- I´ll find some other place to be.

Oh, I forgot to show him the bills, mama says on the way home (but last time we showed them to him he just send them over to grandma and she can't pay and we don't want to upset grandma do we) You look fine could have been said. Looking at the flowers in a garden café. That is the look of a smooth criminal.
