“I’ve booked a slot with him this afternoon,”Vanya explained over a cupcake in his
international school English, and we smiled
with interest; “He’s promised to talk to me
about his past life for my history project –
he spied for the KGB in Washington for 11
years until he was caught and given 24 hours
to leave – it’s kinda cool.” And when he left
I went out onto the terrace where Kevin was
cooking sausages and we made references to
the old enemy in hushed conspiratorial tones.
