After Japan, the time came for the US. We ended up in Albuquerque because that was the city Celestine was actually born in and lived through her early life before moving to Vegas. She rented us a full apartment in a quiet neighborhood.
It actually had four rooms, a big kitchen, a dining area, a garden with a pool in the backyard, and a big garage for the car we rented. I didn't really know why, because I was able to move us faster, plus we could just call the cab if we wanted to, but my girlfriend clearly preferred driving herself. That was because I couldn't. I lacked the necessary papers.
After Japan, I wanted to take things slower. Celestine had a big list of friends and family when wanted to visit, but I persuaded her that there was no rush. Still, we invited some of her friends for a dinner.
