Shiv was out before I woke up the next morning and returned late in
the night. Before I could ask him if he had had dinner, he banged his room door

the air and was sulking, not responding to Amit’s invitation to sit by him.
“What’s with him?” Amit asked edgily.
“Dobie,” I called out softly. He turned his face to the wall. “He
is behaving like the two of you,” I couldn’t help commenting.
