she looked at me and said clearly:

"You know I love you".

"You know I love you, Karin".

My mother never spoke that way.

Dad once said as a joke,|this was a long time ago,

"Anna never says I love you, but|her actions are always full of love".

- What if grandfather comes back?|- It's OK, I've got another bottle.

- Were you really married to grandpa?|- Is that so strange?

It's hard to imagine it.|What kind of person is he?

Good question.

- Did you love him? - I've asked myself|the same question all my life.

- Was he so difficult?|- We were married for 16 years.

Then we got divorced.|He had met another woman,

an idiot named Paula.

I got married again to|a boring glider pilot.

One day, he just flew away.

They never found him.

For some reason, Johan and I|got together several times.

Then I found out|he was servicing...

another lady,|a real whore.

I was angry and hurt|and finished with him.

I suddenly realized,

that I was the most cheated on|wife and lover in the world.

Johan was remarkably and|compulsively unfaithful.

- You mean that my grand father|-...was a real liar.

And he used to write poems. A volume got|published, but it wasn't successful.

- My grandfather used to write verses?|- Yes, even love poems for me.

- Did you keep them?|- No.

But did you love him?

I was terribly naive.

Nowadays, I suppose it's just|not possible to be so, so childish...

and so know-it-all like I was.

I think I loved him.|Utterly.

- You never suspected?|- Not for an instant.

- What made you come here|suddenly? - I don't know.

You still love him!|Don't you?

If you had to be honest,|Marianne...

I hear people say Johan|is this or that,

not very kind things usually.

But I don't know the Johan|they're talking about.

I always thought he was a good man.|Very, very good.

It was so easy to hurt him,|he could never defend himself.

I believe that Johan...

is a moving person.

He's moving.

- Are you crying?|- Yes, a little.

Are you crying for granddad?

- I'm crying for Johan|and Marianne. - I understand.

This is strange.

Dear...

- What will you do?|- Return to Henrik.

- Is that intelligent?|- It has nothing to do with that.

I'll stay here a few more days.|Let me know what happens.

I will.

THREE|About Anna

It can't happen again.

- Never again.|- Never.

We must have a serious talk.

We both know how things are.|There's nothing to sort out.

I'm glad it's so simple!

I was scared to death.

There's no other way to put it:|I was scared to death.

- Do you understand? - I'm very|tired. I'm going to sleep.

- Are you asleep?|- No.

Once I had a similar|situation with Anna.

We weren't married yet,|but we lived together.
