Saturday evening. Freja asks you to come down to the courtyard "just for one minute". Everyone is there, with lights, your kitchen table (the café's old one) and a cake that says "Staying". Thomas holds Findus in his arms. The only thing that could not come is the yellow sofa.

The courtyard is full of lights. Everyone is there, round a long table: your kitchen table, the café's old one. Only the yellow sofa couldn't come.
Freja
Kom ud i gården. Bare et minut.
Come into the courtyard. Just one minute.
Et minut? Godt.
One minute? All right.

Sofie
Overraskelse!
Surprise!
On the cake, in cream: “Staying!”
Thomas is holding Findus in his arms. Findus purrs.
Men ingen af jer havde tid!
But none of you had time!

New rule, number eight. On Saturdays Findus may sit in my arms.

Here is my cake, for you.
