Читать книгу The Geese That Lay The Golden Eggs - Nicola Maria Vitola - Страница 8

While she plans her trip to Kabul, he begins to devise a tour of his own around Italy. Get to know Rimini, go to the sea together; see Rome and Venice while they’re on their honeymoon full of happiness.

Melania changes her plans for exotic excursions shifting them towards cultural explorations in the Vatican museums and romantic getaways in the narrow streets of Venice. What does it matter! America and Asia can wait, the important thing is to have her beloved John at her side!

The fact is that the American is becoming very keen to travel to Italy and live there, to start a new life in the “Bel Paese” with his beloved Melania; to be together, love each other, be happy, and start a family. He is so involved in this perspective of life together as a couple that the next step becomes decisive: leave the American army. Resign, leave permanently.

«But are you sure? - she asks - The choice you’re making is forever. Won’t you regret it?»

Melanie is a little worried, but very flattered by the fact that a man like him would completely change all his life plans for her.

«Regret it?» says John. «Regret wanting a life with an adorable woman in a wonderful country like Italy? I’d regret it bitterly, a thousand times over, if I didn’t take this step. Straight away, now. And I’m tired, fed up of the dry land where my military boots tread. I’m tired of war and blood!

I want to see blue skies, Italy’s turquoise sea, your hazel eyes with specks of gold, Melania my love!».
