Chapter 33 What Are You Doing?

• Aiden’s [POV]
• I sat behind my father’s desk, frozen with a mixture of emotions buzzing around in my head. Shawn had indeed captured my father bragging about his flight experience during his goofing off with my sister. The two were making silly faces at the camera, and seeing Ally on the video, laughing and sticking out her tongue, brought tears to my eyes. She was so alive, so happy with Shawn. The two probably would have gotten married, and my sister might even have been pregnant by now.
• Instead, my father, who was in the background of the tape, was trying his damnedest to impress Shawn, who wasn’t even listening to him. The truth was he’d quit flying lessons long before getting more than his required time. I could tell the pilot wasn’t sure about letting Dad take over, but my dad had been convincing enough. The video stopped as Dad took control. Allison’s last words had even been in jest about how she hoped Dad didn’t kill them all.
