Near-death experience means retirement, which means getting an old farm, patching it up, and living in peace.

A snippet of the Initial Message:

A farm it was. Something nice, something to keep them busy and entertain their former lifestyle. It was perfect. Giving Brokeback Mountain vibes too. The shade of fruit trees, the scent of straw, chicken cooing when John picked them up to pet them and fluff them up, cats and dogs following them both, even the sheep sometimes. Big gentle giants with squishy paws and droopy faces, skinny and cuddly kitties, gremlin-like sheep who managed to always find their way to the kitchen.

Straw hats, rough gloves, the scent of the earth when freshly open and turned inside out, the bees, the flowers. Fingers covered with earth, even under the nails, the grainy sensation of the clay, the scent of cut grass, of the sun on the skin. It was good, full of projects. Always something to do. Morning routines are a bonus too: John opened the barn for the animals they had. Feeding them, cleaning their space, all the while Simon was cooking breakfast with fresh eggs, good milk, and their first attempt at making butter before starting the day with the garden and the vegetables.
