Hana nodded her head in response. "He will be leaving again and would be away for a couple of years. I really hate his job."

"Why did he choose that profession by the way? Is it his passion?"

Jacob didn't notice the change in her words as he was driving carefully on the road. "I guess it's really hard for you since you are so close with him."
