Steve nods as if he were expecting it, but in reality, he's surprised to hear it. He'd known, somewhere deep down, that her life must have been affected by the war; there wasn't a single life that wasn't, in those days. But it's one thing to be relatively certain and another thing to have one's suspicions confirmed. "I enlisted," he tells her, wondering if she already knew that, too. Looking at him now, one would never guess the trouble it took to get the Army to accept him. "I served with some remarkable British agents, as a matter of fact." He decides to play it safe and say no more, though the SSR records must have been declassified by now.
