“Can I ask why you won’t come sit with us?” He just looks at me with that expressionless gaze. “I’m on the last chapter of my book,” he explains, tapping his phone screen. It lights up to display his e-book. “It would be rude to read at a shared table. I don’t want to be rude.” I blink at him, mouth slightly open in surprise. Well, now I’m the asshole. I can’t help but laugh. I thought this guy was being a dick, but really, he’s just trying to not be a dick. Go figure. Finns are so weird. “Sure, umm…well, okay then,” I say, backing away. “Have a good night, Kinnunen.”
