For Maria – for always having my back and for telling me sternly to get in the coffee line
Chapter 1
‘Karl, stop it. I don’t want to hear it. You’re such a liar.’
The wind swooshed past Ninni’s ears as the bike crossed the Puddefjord Bridge and entered Bergen, making it hard to hear him through the earphones. Next to the bike, Frikk panted and grinned, having no problem keeping up the pace.
‘I know the truth now, you bastard.’
The wind eased as Ninni lowered the speed through the narrow streets. Karl kept talking and the more he said, the angrier she got. She approached the roundabout leading to the bus station and slowed down even more.
‘Shut up, shut up, shut up,’ she finally yelled. ‘You have been lying to me for two years, and you’re still lying to me. Now, go to hell and have a miserable life.’
Ninni clicked off the phone and slowed down to manage the turn. She didn’t even feel a bit relieved after yelling at Karl. The whole morning had been a nightmare. All she wanted to do was escape to the island, her only safe haven.
When the phone rang again she decided to ignore it and pulled at the earphones. Turning into the roundabout, she didn’t pay attention for a second.
