The radio played lazy music in the background, the tinny sound of a waltz filled the small interior of the apartment. A cup of tea released steam into the chilled air as its maker dozed in her padded armchair. Puzzles were scattered on her side table, some finished and some half done. Victoria had enjoyed puzzles since she was a little girl and she had always been very good at them. It didn't matter if they were crosswords, math problems, turn of phrase...she could solve them all quickly and efficiently. It was how she had found her current line of work, doing her best to help the war effort while trying to keep her life a secret.
A knock sounded at the door and Victoria sat up with a start. She rubbed at her eyes for a moment, reaching to her side table to pick up her wrist watch. She glanced at the time and let out a sigh. Almost 10. He was late. She pushed herself out of her chair, her heels tapping on the hardwood floor of the apartment. She unlocked the door and pulled it open, her brown eyes staring at the man that stood there with a glance that told him she was not pleased.
"You're late." She said in her soft voice, her hand settling on her hip, her smart black dress trailing around her silk stockings. "Give me a good reason why I should let you in."
