CHAPTER 1
— HOW DO YOU FEEL, honey?
Greg smiled, but he clearly felt a tightness in his chest. It was a lifetime that he would be leaving behind, he had never thought about retirement, he didn't even think about it, even now, he imagined a thousand things he could be doing, he postponed it for ten long years, but now he had received an ultimatum.
— It is so strange...
His wife tenderly caressed his face, he knew that no success in the world could have been achieved without her unconditional support, without her sacrifice in accepting that sometimes he did not return home because he was in the farthest corners of the world.
— I never even wanted a career promotion, because I love to unravel the secrets of the various crimes, and now...
His wife was a mixture of compassion and joy, at last he would be hers alone, they could live in a unique way, for each other, without insoluble crimes, without deaths, without sleepless nights...
— I imagine... you were always passionate about the life you lead in the police, but now you're going to have to close this chapter, and we don't always want to abandon what we love so much.
— The problem with closing this chapter is that the book comes to an end and there will be no other like it, my fear is that my life will be like that of many companions who, when they retire, end up dying from fatigue.
— God can surprise us sometimes, honey, you've had an enviable career, but nothing lasts forever.
— He always surprised me in his own way, honey, sometimes I think God decided to be my wife.
She patted him on the shoulder, then kissed him again.
— The important thing is that I love you more than anything else I can live in this life, and what comforts me is that I will have more time for you and our grandchildren.
She smiled and caressed her husband's face again, then held his hand tight.
— After a beautiful answer like that, all you don't want to do is go back to the police.
