"I like what you did with the place," Gray said mildly. "You stayed true to the integrity of the original." "Thanks," Aaron replied gruffly. He didn't do this looking for thanks. He only cared about maintaining his brotherly image so whatever the man had been planning in prison wouldn't come back to bite him later on. Keeley knew what her husband was thinking because of how much he had complained while hiring people to take care of the disaster of an apartment for him. She figured it would be best…

Despite having Kaleb home to visit, Aaron's mood remained overall sour until Wednesday when he had to pick up his psychopathic brother from prison. Keeley had taken the day off to come with him as promised. "We don't have to do much," she told him. "We pick him up, take him to drop his things off at his apartment, and buy him lunch. That's it." "I know but it's still annoying," Aaron grumbled. "If I had to take a day off I would rather be playing video games with Kaleb." Keeley patted his hand.…

The minute they had to wait to be shot up after being strapped into the sling shot ride was the most terrifying minute of Violet's life. Kaleb was grinning to himself in excitement but she felt like the world was about to end. She had never even properly been in love! She couldn't die now because of a faulty contraption! "If I die without being able to get married because of you, I will haunt you from beyond the grave," Violet said through gritted teeth. Her twin laughed it off. "What do you need…

When Violet met up with Noah the following morning, she was wearing a white sweater, skinny jeans, tan boots, and a sheepish expression. She hadn't told him Nathan was coming too because she thought it was too late to text him at that point. He didn't seem at all surprised. He knew how the dynamics between her brothers worked when it came to having her time and attention. She mouthed the word 'sorry' at him when her brothers' backs were turned and he simply shrugged in response. At least he didn't…

On Friday Violet was in the middle of rehearsing her scene with the fairy godmother and all of the mice footmen when she was suddenly grabbed from behind. The only lifts in this scene were supposed to be done by all of the footmen lifting her above their heads together so she swiveled her head around, realizing something was wrong. "What the—" She was greeted by the beaming face of her twin brother. "What's up, Vi? Aren't you happy to see me?" "Kal! What are you doing here? I thought you were…

A lot more waist spinning and lifts followed as they moved across the stage. Noah was barely able to follow along with the video at this point. Then came the part that really got to him. Cinderella and the prince were supposed to fake kiss; in the video their faces got so close their lips almost touched but not quite. And then the prince spun away from underneath Cinderella's nose. Violet's face got close enough to his that their lips actually brushed for a millisecond before he jerked back, unable…

Violet pranced around as lightly as a fairy for a good forty-five minutes, only stopping to sip from her water bottle, before she put her hands on her h.i.p.s and frowned. Noah looked up at her in confusion when the music stopped. "What's up?" "The next part I'm supposed to practice is with the prince but he's not here. The director was especially giving me a hard time about missing my practice with him yesterday," she sighed. Her eyes suddenly lit up with an idea. "Could you be my stand in? You…

Noah hadn't been terribly concerned when Violet told him Jeremy Ward was treating her to dinner. His dad had previously described the guy as 'Aaron 2.0' because he was even more business-minded and didn't have any attachments to other humans whatsoever. He probably thought of it as nothing more than repaying a debt. People could be weird about not wanting to owe anybody sometimes. Since Violet wasn't going to get out from rehearsals until 8 PM the following day, Noah decided to bring her dinner. A…

Jeremy thought about his encounters with Violet Hale the following morning at work with an absentminded smile on his face. Seeing that elegant, poised woman he met in the elevator look so frazzled as she rushed into the hospital room in training clothes had been amusing. She regained her cold and composed air once they were in the car alone after she dropped her father off despite her casual attire. It was rather intriguing how quickly she could go back and forth. Which side was the true Violet? He…

"I'm home," Keeley called up the stairs once the elevator doors opened. Aaron was lying on the couch in the living room with a blanket over him and sat up the moment he saw her. The blanket fell off to reveal he wasn't wearing a shirt. "Why aren't you wearing a shirt?" she fretted as she approached and wrapped the blanket back around his shoulder. "It's cold outside; you're going to get sick." "I can't lift my arm," he admitted. "It hurts too much." Keeley sighed as she hugged his non-injured…
