After the emotional retirement ceremony, Harry and Kensi decided to spend a few days together in London. They strolled through the city's parks, visited charming cafes and enjoyed every moment of tranquility, something Harry had not experienced so intensely in the last 21 years. The time with Kensi was invigorating, and the more they spent together, the stronger their connection grew.
One morning, while they were having coffee on the balcony of Harry's mansion, with a spectacular view of the city of London, he felt that it was the right time to make a more decisive move in his personal life.
"Kensi…" He began, turning to her with a serious but gentle look. "I've been thinking a lot about the future, about what comes after retirement. I want to be with you, and not just in long-distance meetings or sporadic trips. I want something more solid."
Kensi, who was calmly looking at the view, turned with surprise and a slight smile.
"What are you saying, Harry?" She asked, already imagining what he meant, but still curious to hear it from his mouth.
Harry placed the coffee cup on the table and gently held Kensi's hand.
"I'm saying that I want to move to Los Angeles, to be close to you," he revealed. "I was thinking about buying a house in Beverly Hills, and…" He paused briefly, a genuine smile appearing on his lips. "I want you to come live with me. I know it's a big step, but I don't want to waste any more time. You're the person I want to be with."
Kensi was silent for a moment, surprised by Harry's sincerity. Her heart raced, and she felt a wave of emotions take over her. They were already building something special, and the fact that he wanted to commit himself like this touched her deeply.
"Harry… that's…" She began, but her words faltered for a moment. Her eyes lit up as she smiled. "That's amazing. I want that too."
The life we lead is unpredictable, but if there's one thing I know, it's that I want to be with you.
Harry smiled, relaxing as he heard the answer he'd been waiting for. He knew the decision to move to Los Angeles was a big step, but with Kensi by his side, he was confident that this was the right path.
"Great," he said, leaning in to kiss her softly. "Let's go to Los Angeles then."
A few days later, Harry and Kensi boarded a flight from London to Los Angeles. The journey was smooth, and their excitement for this new phase was palpable. Arriving in Beverly Hills, Harry had a few property viewings scheduled. He was looking for something grand but cozy, a place that would combine his refined style with his desire to build a life with Kensi.
During the viewings, Kensi accompanied him, helping him visualize what their life together would be like. They visited impressive mansions with sprawling gardens, infinity pools, and spectacular views of the Beverly Hills hills. In one of these properties, one in particular caught Harry's attention.
"What do you think of this place?" he asked as they walked through a spacious terrace overlooking the Los Angeles skyline.
Kensi looked around, taking a deep breath as she imagined life there.
"It's amazing, Harry. It sounds perfect," she said, smiling at him. "I think we can see ourselves here, together."
Harry smiled. It was exactly what he wanted to hear. The process of buying the house had been quick, thanks to the contacts he already had in the city and the fact that money had never been an issue. Within a few days, the paperwork was completed, and they were officially ready to start this new phase together.
The night they finally moved into their new home, Harry prepared a special dinner. He and Kensi sat on the terrace, enjoying the sunset as they toasted to the new journey they were about to begin.
"You know," Kensi began, holding her glass of wine. "I never imagined my life would turn out this way. You, London, now here in Los Angeles. It feels like a dream."
Harry smiled, raising his glass toward her.
"Life has curious ways of surprising us. But of all the missions I've ever done, this one, with you, is the one that excites me the most." He said sincerely.
They toasted and, under the starry sky of Los Angeles, savored that perfect moment. Now, with a home together and a future ahead of them, Harry and Kensi were ready to face whatever came their way, side by side.
