You haven’t heard much of Ivar the last few months.

Usually, he came. For comfort, for love. The coffee shop carries on. So do you. Its rooms are fragrant with the waft of fresh coffee beans. You pluck up a cellophane bag of chocolate-covered raspberry sticks and set it upon the wire cabinet, stepping back count the new additions. Unicorn lollipops spiraling the fresh colours of a dewy rainbow, ruby chocolate coating honeycomb, and your favourite is blonde chocolate orange sticks.

The bells chime marking the entrance of a new customer. It’s painfully late. 8:47 in the evening. You lean on chunky black heels, finding a man standing there. His shoulder-length blond hair flopped over the side of his shaved down head. He’s painfully tall almost like your black haired Viking who had gone awol.

“Oh, can I help you?” you ask.

“I’m here to see my brother,” he says. “Ivar.”

“Ivar?” you repeat after him. “I haven’t heard from him in… what did you say your name was?”

“Bjorn.”
