SCENE 7

(Trondheim. RUTH and GUNVOR in their room.)

RUTH: Suddenly, like over night, autumn is here. The nights are already dark. And I don´t see Gunvor during the night when she´s laying by my side, like a little child. I only feel her mouth and her delicate skin, and hear her:

GUNVOR: Come!

It´s so nice when you are laying here by me. So safe.

RUTH: IN GUNVOR THERE´S A MELANCHOLIA AND IT OVERPOWERS HER COMPLETELY. THEN I´LL BE THERE FOR HER.

(RUTH turns to GUNVOR, caressing her forehead and kisses her. She sits on the bed, or gets into bed with GUNVOR.)
