But then, ‘home’ had never held much meaning for me. All my life I’d been moved from one institution to another: prep school to public school, public school to the army. Always part of the crowd, but never really fitting in, like a piece of a jigsaw that keeps getting put in the wrong box. It wasn’t until I was seconded to UNIT that I felt I belonged. Perhaps it was the unusual nature of the job, perhaps the discovery that there was more to the universe. But… I think, more than anything, it was the people. I felt supported. And for the first time, liked.
