Your phone rings: Anna. She is learning Estonian too, because she has a new job in the capital, not far from you. And she wants to know everything: your flat, the town, the neighbours. You describe Jaan: tall, brown eyes, curly black hair... and stop. The boy in the photo.

Teie telefon heliseb. Anna, teie sõbranna Hamburgist.
Your phone rings. It's Anna, your friend from Hamburg.

Noh, milline sinu korter on?
So, what's your flat like?
You look over at the bathroom door.
Väike, aga kena. Ja vannitoas on kollane diivan.
Small but nice. And there's a yellow sofa in the bathroom.

Ja linn? Kas see on suur?
And the town? Is it big?

Ja kes veel?
And who else?
You stop. You think of the photo on Leena's wall.
Jaan, muusik. Ta elab üleval. Pikk, pruunid silmad, mustad lokkis juuksed...
Jaan, a musician. He lives upstairs. Tall, brown eyes, curly black hair...
