Chapter Fifteen
Malcolm drives Matt and me, and his mother takes Aiden, Emily, and Aunt Hannah. When we climb out in the parking lot at uShaka Marine World, Aiden, Emily and their mother are arguing.
“… won’t talk to me about it,” Aunt Hannah is saying.
Aiden lets out a frustrated breath of air and says, “Can I have my phone back now?”
“I just think you should call her,” Aunt Hannah says.
“No, Mum, he does not need to call her.” Emily snatches the phone from her mother’s hand and drops it into Aiden’s back pocket.
“I just think that if there’s a chance—”
“No, Mum,” Emily says. “I know you don’t believe me, but I’ve told you before how she—”
“Look, it’s actually no one else’s business except mine,” Aiden says. “So I’d appreciate you both keeping your prying eyes away from my phone.”
