Summary
Erling throws his head back, laughing. “Alt er tillatt i kjærlighet og krig, min venn!" (All is fair in love and war, my friend!)
Jude sort of misses when his bangs would flop back and forth with his head movements; now his hair is long enough to slick back and tie into a bun.
It's more practical now (he can't imagine playing with his hair flinging around in his face, god knows how Erling did it for years on end,) but still—
Jude's feelings aren't exactly practical, are they?
Or: Five times Jude kept his heart tucked away, and the one time he let it be held.
