“What do you expect me to do?” I yell at Philip a few days later.

“I expect you to do your best,” he answers me angrily as he gets up from the chair, moving it rudely.

“I promise to do my best,” I answer him, and look at the simple cardboard notebook that lies between us on the wooden table, wondering why we started fighting at all.

I did not plan to hug him as I went down the stairs to the basement, I promised myself I’d get over him, but my hands couldn’t stop themselves. I embraced his body, holding on so tightly and smelling his body odor, mixed with the smell of gun oil, unable to release him.

“Just one moment,” I whispered to him, “I know we must not.” And he hugs me in silence, enfolding my back with his hands, and stroking me gently.

“I brought you something,” he whispers to me, and I hug him even harder.

“One more moment.”

“Just to let you know, they liked the information you gave us the previous time.” He keeps stroking me, and I can’t stop clinging to his warm body, feeling my whole body like electricity; what are these feelings?

“Who wants me to know?” I’m thinking about his fingers caressing my back.

“The ones who got the information. We must stop; we said it never happened.” And I release my hands and back up; it never happened again.

“Can I start my report now?” He doesn’t even want to hug me from time to time.

“I brought you something.” He pulls out a simple cardboard notebook, placing it on the table.

“What is it?”

“It’s a regular notebook. You can write down secret information there. I’ll teach you how to hide it between ordinary words so that whoever reads it will not understand that there is information hidden in it.” Why is he moving away from me?

The notebook is on the table between us, wrapped in a rough cardboard cover, and rubbed in the corners as if used by someone else before me. Still, I dare not ask, although when I open it, I can see that several pages have been torn from it, and no greeting note is written on the first page.

“Thanks.” Shall I tell him about the gift I received from Oberst Ernest?

“He wants to take me with him to Normandy.”

“Who, your officer?” And I nod in silence and try to get closer to him, but Phillip walks away from me, sitting down in the wooden chair, looking at me.

“It’s a good sign that he trusts you.” That’s all he says, why isn’t he telling me something else?

“What should I do? Tell me what to do.”

“You have to go with him,” he answers me in a distant voice.

“I’ll go with him. I have no choice.”

“Maybe I really need to get you a camera so that you can take some pictures.”

“Then bring me a camera.” I stand up and get ready to go; please stop me from going.

“I apologize; I didn’t mean what I said.” Philip also stands up and looks at me, but I look aside and panic.
