Run Run as Fast as You Can (22 page)

"I am so glad Susanne at least survived and will be home with her children soon. That is a big relief, but what about the others? The plumber and the librarian? What happened to them?" I asked, and grabbed the last Ferrero Rocher in the package on the coffee table.

"Well, only one body, the librarian, has been found so far and he was stabbed to death. It wasn't the same modus operandi, the same method as the rest. We suspect his wife did it. She worked in the library with him. She was the only one there. She claims it was Lisa getting rid of her opponent, but that's just too far out. I mean, come on, let’s be realistic here. Who would ever kill for an election to the City Council? Not likely right? Plus his wife has, on several occasions, beaten the crap out of him, sending him to the hospital."

"Has she now?"

"Oh yes. Abuse in a marriage can go both ways, you see."

"Like this?" I leaned over and kissed Morten on the lips. I closed my eyes and enjoyed it. He grabbed me and pulled me closer. I opened my eyes and stroked him gently across the cheek. He was always so nicely shaved.

"I still think there is something off about that woman, though. I just can't put my finger on it," I said.

"Lisa? Yeah. I know what you mean. But sometimes people are just strange, you know. Doesn't have to mean they run around killing people."

"I guess she chose to be a politician instead."

"The lesser of two evils …"

Then we both laughed.

I
'M DOING
my Zumba class. I'm sweating heavily while glancing anxiously at the baby carriage on the other side of the window where my princess is sleeping heavily next to all the other babies who have come with their mommies to the
Mommy-and-Me Zumba Extraordinaire
that the local fitness center in Karrebaeksminde hosts every Monday morning. Monday, naturally, because they know Monday is the day every mom wants to start a new life of exercise and diet. The carriage is not moving. She's still asleep I think relieved while I push myself and dance to the fast rhythms trying hard to sweat off the butt giving birth to my third child has given me.

I'm forty-one, I'm not tired as my mother says I am. I have enough energy to do it all. I know I do.

When I come home, the baby is still sleeping. I eat an organic, low-carb, fat-reduced lunch and drink a smoothie made from beet, spinach, lemon and apple. I drink a skinny-latte afterwards while reading the
Zeeland Times
. My old friend from high school Rebekka Franck has an article in the paper about a fire in Neastved, the biggest city close to us. I read it feeling good, happy and energized from the exercise and healthy food. I detect a typo in the third line of the article. It annoys me. I pick up my iPhone and call the newspaper to let them know. They tell me that they are very sorry, and that they'll make sure to tell whoever is responsible. I hang up feeling good about myself. If people make a mistake they need to know.

The baby is making sounds, I pick her up and bring her to the changing table. Quiet, cleanliness and regularity those are the keywords to having a baby. I change the diaper and tickle her stomach. Josephine is three months old. I gave birth to her on a Sunday after only three hours of labor. I had a natural birth. No sedatives. Just me and nature. I gave birth in water in my own house. The mid-wife came to help, but I didn't need her much. I didn't even need my husband. Like the two first times I did it by myself.  I took control of the birth. It's my body, I told them when they wanted to discuss anesthesia. I told them I found it repulsive that they wanted to sedate me, I told them that women through all times, in all kinds of countries had done this without being sedated, so why shouldn't I?
