“The view is beautiful. Almost as beautiful as you,” Stockwurt whispered almost inaudibly to himself as Bethany and Rodger conversed.

Stockwurt then began loudly telling the story of how he became a helicopter pilot as the rotors blared, swerving the helicopter every time it appeared that Bethany and Rodger were about to hold hands. As Bethany and Rodger shared their first kiss in the seats behind him, Stockwurt made an air kiss and pretended he was the one kissing her.

At press time, the vehicle was descending rapidly as Stockwurt closed his eyes and imagined his and Bethany’s future family living together in the helicopter forever.
