#1 I needed to feel like myself again, and that meant having a root touch-up appointment at Salon Renee George in Reston, Virginia. I wanted to believe that the world hadn’t changed completely.

#2 I had to trust the people working in the country I was now inhabiting, and I suppose they were trusting me with their lives as well. There was a polite reserve, and I never felt like I knew any of them.

#3 Johnny was the only male in the CIA who was not sexist. He was calm, gentle, and polite. He followed protocol, and when he did, it was like he was an entirely different man.

#4 I was always on the lookout for the most beautiful sky, and I would call my parents to tell them about it. The world beneath our feet is the same all over, my dad would say.
