Mom looks up at me with a mix of fear, disappointment, and…concern. Whether that concern is for her safety or for me, it doesn’t matter. I turn away from her, I can’t look at her after everything I’ve done.

373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZSkocxaNe
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUhXiEing9
I can’t dwell on it too much. I want to put my best foot forward too, regardless of the outcome. Eventually, we finished our tasks. Mom’s on one side while me and Alyson sit across from her. 373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGEaTYFnKS

For the next 10 minutes, the light of our flight slowly returned to normal. No, back to where Alyson and I were friends. When we were kids and didn’t have so many problems. The desire for success and the burden of weakness.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46LLztydVK

So we talked and we laughed. Those 10 minutes nearly brought me to tears. I didn’t want it to end. But as the time for the meteor shower approaches, the tension returned. It’s time for everything to be revealed for the 3rd time.
