I got up at five o’clock in the morning and listened at Ellen’s door for a moment, which had gradually become a habit. She was breathing quietly, but I remained standing there until I’d heard the springs of the bed creak as she turned over in her sleep. Until I could be sure she hadn’t disappeared in the night. Gone back to the commune or, even worse, to Aarhus, where I’d never be able to find her again.

The sun was a dazzling white splotch behind a haze of clouds, and the wind was cold against my bare legs as I cycled down the long gravel road to the chicken farm. The air was damp, and the forecast had promised heavy local showers. Anders and Anton were crossing their fingers for them to pass; maybe we’d be lucky, despite the swallows flying low over the gray buildings of the chicken farm.
