Gustav and David’s Father
David's father looked at Gustav penetratingly. There was no hostility in his gaze, but there was firmness. Under its influence, Meiden knew that this would not be a conversation like any of the previous ones. He was certain that David's father KNEW.
Yes, it was exactly as David had guessed. His father not only suspected that David and Gustav were in a relationship, he KNEW it, although he probably needed confirmation.
They met David's by chance. After the cotton candy, it was the turn of the show, where old ladies and gentlemen dressed in folk costumes presented some old folk chants. For some reason, even this was excellent entertainment for Gustav. Something told him it was because he had David by his side. But just then they ran into Mr. and Mrs. Krosny, who were also watching the performances.
It only took a moment for David's father to take Meiden aside for a little chat.
"Gustav, can I call you that? After all, we're not even twenty years apart."
