Summary
A collection of short scenes from the boys' early (and later) years.
“You know, Brandon,” Addam says levelly, “going to someone’s house generally involves getting out of the car first.”
That’s when Brand realizes that they have been parked in front of the house in silence for two full minutes. He rolls his eyes. “Whatever. Do you have the beer?”
Addam blinks at him. “You can’t possibly have been serious about that.”
“What? They drink beer! When you get invited to an American’s home, you bring a six-pack or a tuna casserole. Everyone knows that, man!”
“He’s sort of right, I think,” Rune chimes in. “Or cupcakes. Damn, we should have gone for cupcakes.”
“I picked a bottle of red wine,” Addam tells them patiently. “And chocolates. We are not bringing your mother Bud Light on our first visit.”
Rune perks up at the mention of wine and chocolates, so Brand lets it go. The man’s probably right, too. “I got a few bumper stickers too, just in case.”
A pause. “Bumper stickers?” Addam repeats, sounding half horrified, half exhausted. It’s a tone no one else masters quite as perfectly in Brand’s opinion, and although he’s trying to be careful, he uses it frequently around Rune and Brand.Series
