The Paris Diversion
American expat Kate Moore drops her kids at the international school, makers her rounds of chores, and meets her husband Dexter at their regular café: a leisurely start to a normal day.
Across the Siene, tech CEO Hunter Forsyth stands on his balcony, wondering why his police escort just departed, and frustrated that his cell service has cut out.
And on the nearby rue de Rivoli, Mahmoud Khalid climbs out of an electrician’s van, elbows his way into the crowded courtyard of the world’s largest museum, and removes his windbreaker.
That’s when people start to scream.
