“I can come to your place."
"I don't think that's a good idea," I'd said...
"You don't want me to see where you live? What are you hiding over there? Another boy band?"
"Yes. You've found me out. I've got the Backstreet Boys in the attic."
He paused for a second and then began to laugh. "The Backstreet Boys? How old are you again?"
"Shut up, Hayes."
"You sure you don't have the Monkees over there as well?"
"I'm hanging up.”

“Many Fujiyamas lie in a row along our coast to the south. As the distance increases, their sombre blackness seems to be lit up by a deep red light. They take on every shade from red to lilac, and all the colours have a glowing depth that is neved found in the landscape at home, or at most only in some exquisite flowers. In the holy stillness, everything is lit by a supernatural brightness. Two gulls fly low and silent close by the hut toward the fiord. They are lit up by the red rays of the bright sun. Their magnificent broad wings are a deep pink in the turquoise sky.”

“Who are you, Hayes Campbell?”
He smiled, his hands burrowing in his pockets. “I’m your boyfriend.”
“My twenty-year-old boyfriend?”
“Your twenty-year-old boyfriend. Are you okay with that?”
I grinned. “Do I have a choice?”
“You always have a choice.” He’d appropriated my words, which I found amusing.
“Then, yes … I am very okay with that.”
