I was a bit concerned about meeting them alone, I had spoken to his mother a few times on the phone, when he had stayed over at my apartment. His parents came out to the car to meet me. Then took me out to his mothers summer house in the arcapeligo of a 1,000 Islands that surrounds Stockholm.
The driver gave me the grand tour of Stockholm, fascinating city. When I arrived at Stockholm, as he could not meet me due to an overrunning meeting, arranged for a car to pick me up and take me to his house. I flew out to Stockholm from Schipol the next week, Bjorn was working out of his law firms offices in Stockholm that week. This is Sweden, he said, we do not have any problems with it nor does his family. Althought I shared my concerns with Bjorn as how will his family view our relationship. Bjorn had been my partner for almost a year now, we had met in Amsterdam one hot sunny day where he had propositioned me.
Bjorn invited me out to meet his family in Stockholm for their midsummer celebrations holiday. I was in my apartment in The Hague when the phone rang.
