ARIA'S POVSavannah and I finished preparing dinner then I sat in the living room waiting for my brother to return. I was typing away on my phone when Savannah returned to the living room after changing Aurora's diaper. "Ari, can I ask you something?" she asked as she sat on the couch opposite me."Sure, what is it?" I put my phone down to give her my undivided attention."Do you want Dave to go to jail?" "Is that even a question?" I raised my eyebrows at her. "Of course, I want justice for my parents."She rolled her eyes at me. "That was not the question I asked you. I know you want justice for your parent but are you okay with the fact that Dave might be spending the rest of his life in jail?" I remained silent as I didn't have the answer to that question. She took my silence for an answer and continued, "You still have feelings for him, don't you?""What?! No." My eyes widened. "Why on earth would I still be harboring feelings for a man who is responsible for the death of my p
