... Your proposal is highly unexpected and generous, Johnny, I cannot deny that. But the borrowed time you speak of is nothing more than my desire to provide an alternative to the overly busy lifestyle I engaged in back home. I wish to correct the neglect that occurred because of it and have been working toward that goal. But I am skeptical as to whether I will be able to continue such progress upon our return. Still, as my concern is properly spending the time with those most important to me, a change in locale would have little meaning. Whatever happens... it happens here. That is the way things should be done.
