Chapter 35

Tobias

It’s been close to five weeks since I left Hannah, and I hate to say it, but I will have to stay in this country for longer than six weeks.

I miss her like crazy, and after this nightmare of a recruitment train is over, I’m- taking time off work for a month.

I want to teach Hannah how to drive and take her on a road trip along the coast. Eat good food, watch the sunset, and go swimming as much as possible, possibly even surfing. My brothers and I are all talented at that, but Mark is the best one on the board.

“Nothing special, I’m just… umm…” she takes her freedom to sit in the chair in front of my desk. “I know that you chose Hannah, and I respect that. I do, but I would still like to talk.”
