Somehow, his mind was not on the paper but with their conversation earlier."Ronjon, are you not thinking of living in France for good?""That would be tempting, Uncle, but Asha and I wish to come back.""Why? With your caliber, there would be a lot of opportunities for you in France. Why come home to this God-forsaken country." Harry lifted his hand and slammed them on the table.
