After Mendis went to pick up Niresh, he wandered around the courtyard, then went to his room, only to come out again. Selvi passed by and caught him dawdling under the jak tree. “Waiting for your boyfriend?” He gave her a disdainful glare. She giggled and went on her way. Mendis finally returned with his cousin. Amrith rushed forward to greet Niresh as he stepped out of the car. They grinned at each other and shook hands warmly, Amrith trying not to flinch at his cousin’s grip. Eva, Zsa Zsa, and Magda had come running out of the living room, wagging their tails. They crowded around the stranger. “Just ignore them, Niresh. Shoo! They’re a real nuisance.” But his cousin had got down on one knee and was saying in a high silly voice, “Well, hello, girl. Yes, hello to you too and you too.” The dogs were beside themselves. They rolled over on their backs, stuck their legs in the air, and made pedaling gestures, their tongues lolling out foolishly as Niresh scratched their stomachs.
