William's POV Thomas and I had been traveling on the ship for a while, and finally, we were approaching France. "We're almost there," I said to Thomas, a huge smile on my face. "Finally, we'll be on land again." Thomas nodded, a smile on his face as well. "Yeah, it feels like ages since we left the last port," he said. "And when we get there," I said, my voice filled with excitement. "I think it would be a good idea if the four of us went shopping." Thomas looked at me, a look of curiosity on his face. "Shopping? What do you mean?" he asked. "Well," I said. "We're going to be living in Eastern Europe for a while, so I think it would be a good idea if we got some things to settle down and make ourselves comfortable." "That's actually a great idea," Thomas said, nodding. "I think we'll need some supplies for the journey as well." "Exactly," I said, feeling thrilled that Thomas was agreeing with my plan. "We can go shopping for food, water, and other necessities." "And maybe even

Ava's POV As I stirred awake, William's voice echoed in my ear, waking me from my slumber. "Rise and shine, my love," he said with warmth. "It's time to get ready. We're going into the city soon." I sat up in bed, blinking away the sleepiness from my eyes. "How soon?" I asked, my voice still a bit tired. William shrugged, a mischievous smile spreading across his face. "As soon as we finish breakfast," he said. "And I promise you're going to love the place we're going to. It's a beautiful café with some of the most incredible cakes and coffee in the world.

Ava's POV As I woke up, I heard a commotion on the deck above me. I swung my legs off the bed and made my way to the deck where I saw Mia and several other crew members huddled around the bow of the ship, staring intently at the land in the distance. "Ava, take a look!" Mia called out, pointing towards the land. "We're almost there!" She turned to me with a huge smile, her eyes sparkling with a mix of trepidation and joy. "I can't believe it," she exclaimed, "We've finally made it! After all these weeks, all those time at sea, we're finally here!" "I know, Mia, it's been a long journey, but we've made it." I reached out and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, pulling her into a hug. As we stood there, locked in each other's arms, the sky above us grew brighter by the second. I heard William calling out to me from across the ship. "Ava, get ready! We'll be in port by nightfall! Make sure everything is in order!" I quickened my step, feeling the excitement build within me. The po

Just give me a few minutes to get organized and I'll come back for you.""Okay, William. I'll just settle into my room and get ready."A few minutes later, William came back to my doorway and knocked softly. I opened the door, ready for our adventure.

We sat on a park bench, eating our pastries.Eventually, William broke the comfortable silence. "Ava, I just want to say thank you for choosing

Ava's POV As William and I settled back into our hotel room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and relief. Taking a deep breath, I turned to William, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, thumbing through his notes from the day. "Well, I think it's safe to say that we've got our work cut out for us. Those properties were all amazing, and I can't wait to see which one we end up choosing." William nodded in agreement, a small smile on his face. "I know, it's hard to believe that one of those amazing houses will be ours soon." "Yes, with our budget in mind, I think we should be able to find something within our price range. We just need to make sure that we don't get caught up in the excitement and end up making a bad decision." "I completely agree. This is a big decision and we need to take our time to make sure we do it right." I"Yes, and that's what we pay Mr. Kent for, after all. He's the expert in this, and I trust his judgment completely.
