The Spies of Zurich

We pulled on robes and sat at the kitchen table and drank first from the milk bottle and then from the wine bottle, just passing them back and forth, not even using glasses. I recounted what I had been doing the last two days, and Manon kissed me on the forehead and called me her “little mad bomber.” She told me a funny story about her uncle and the half-deaf old woman who ran one of the looms, screaming at each other about a botched order. The sun felt warm through the front window. Winter was done now.
Both bottles were about half-empty, maybe a little more, when the knock on the door signaled the arrival of three Gestapo men, two of them with guns drawn. One of them came into our bedroom and watched me get dressed, and then it was into the backseat.
