[ Paint by numbers? How else do people paint? Well, people other than him, apparently. ]
Nothing. All I ever wanted was to be a spy. Peggy used to tell me stories, you know. Of the things you guys used to do. Of the things she used to do. Stories about the French Resistance, about spies and soldiers. And that's what I wanted to be. That's what I always wanted to be. So my parents and Peggy helped me look into it, and I got into the right schools, and I took self-defense classes and gymnastics and Peggy would play spy games with me. Like, this one time when I was six, I went to her house, but she'd hidden the cookie jar. My mission was to find it, get the cookies, and put it back without getting caught. [ She smiles at the memory. And her dad had wondered why she'd liked hanging out at Peggy's house so much. ]
The missions got harder as I got older, and by the time I turned eighteen, I was ready.
I guess that's pretty boring, though. No, I don't know, bolt of lightning out of the blue or anything.
