Chapter 45. We can do this together!
Last Updated:
2021-08-03 09:19:12Monterey beach is a favorite place for surfers and tidepool watchers. Fishing is popular, too. This beach is an excellent place for beachcombing.
Ari and Savannah enjoy walking on the beachfront with their hands intertwined. It made Savannah relax her mind. Having Ari on her side added more security and stability to her life. Ari would like Savannah to relax before their meeting with her therapist tomorrow.
The guys at Camp Roberts Army base were creating a position for me so I could join them in two years. At that time, our project in CN county, New Hope New Life, should be done. That is our timetable, so I can retire. I will leave CN in a good and happy spirit since my initiative will be completed by then. And hopefully, you can apply for early retirement. Ari explained.
That sounds like a plan hon! Savannah said.
Then we can move to Monterey. We will buy a house, our own house. If everything works out as planned, we will buy the farm in Gilroy.
