Being a maid of honor did not jive with the lifestyle of a busy final-year PhD student. Any 'free-time' Keeley would have had ended up being devoted to helping Jennica prepare for her wedding. She was constantly bombarded with texts asking for opinions between two slightly different shades of the same color, which flower seemed the most romantic, and questions about things like whether or not it would be a good idea to have the bridesmaids wear nude nail polish or bright polish that matched their…
-
After dinner one of Cameron's friends suggested a game where everyone had to go around the table and tell two funny or embarrassing stories about whichever half of the engaged couple they knew, one true and one false. Everyone else would have to guess which was which. Next to Keeley, Valentina had a look of intense concentration on her face as she tried to think. She wanted to laugh. Of course her friend would take this seriously; she loved these kinds of games. Embarrassing stories…goodness knows…

Keeley and Valentina rode over to the restaurant where the engagement party was being held in Aiden's car. He ran into Valentina earlier in the week and offered since they were all going to the same place. They had all dressed up a bit for the occasion. Keeley had never seen Aiden wear anything but sweatpants and tee shirts so it was a bit surprising to see him in a button-down shirt and dark wash jeans. Valentina wore a black beaded mini dress with matching flats and straightened her hair for once.…

It was cruelly ironic that everyone around her was getting married right when Keeley discovered that her ex-husband's consciousness and memories still existed. Although, if she was being technical, they had never gotten divorced. She didn't sign the papers before her death. They weren't married anymore though since their marriage certificate didn't exist in this timeline. So Aaron was still her ex-husband in a way. They used to be married but now they were not. Thinking about it made her head hurt.…

As Keeley walked away, Aaron could feel the sour decay of something ending. She would probably never willingly speak to him again now that she knew the truth. Come to think of it…she never mentioned how she figured it out. She came in guns blazing and happened to skip over that part. It was even worse because he hadn't managed to explain himself properly. She didn't think he actually loved her. He should have seen this coming from the moment he realized she had been reborn. Keeley's emotional scars…

"Is there anything else I should know?" Keeley asked frostily, taking a page from his book. "I got revenge for you," Aaron said simply. "Lacy killed Max, the one who drove the car that hit you, and she died in prison. Aiden was the one who found the footage that convicted her though obviously he doesn't remember it… And I got my father kicked out of the company. He had a heart attack from the stress and died too." He talked about these people's deaths as casually as he would talk about the weather!…

Sorry? Did Aaron just say he was sorry? "Sorry for what?" Keeley hissed, regaining some of her energy and pulling her wrists out of his grip. She rubbed them to try and wipe away the feeling of his grip. "Everything." "That's not enough! Do you realize exactly what you did to me? I gave up everything I cared about for you and all you did was make me miserable, kill my father, cheat on me, and let your stupid girlfriend kill me after you threw me away!" She was so pissed off that she dug her…

Keeley's guilt didn't lessen at all over the next few days. It was how she found herself still in bed at 2 PM on a Sunday with no intention of getting up. She had thought she had cried her last tears over Aaron Hale but she was wrong. Saying goodbye was harder than she thought it would be. It was a good thing she ended it before she got even more attached. As predicted, Jennica had been proposed to and she was in the process of packing up all of her things to move them over to Cameron's house…
-
Aaron hadn't thought much of it when Keeley didn't text him back for a few days since it had happened before. The life of a PhD student was a full one. He flew back less than an hour after his meetings ended, barely making it onto the plane so he could be with her on Valentine's Day. He never would have dreamed that she wouldn't be at home—no one was. He was on the verge of pounding on Aiden's door so he could find her when a notification from Instagram popped up. Keeley posted a picture of a pizza…
-
Keeley was fairly depressed on Valentine's Day. Love was in the air all over campus and she couldn't take it. She hadn't texted Aaron back in days either, which only contributed to her poor mood. If he were here, he probably would have asked her to dinner and surprised her with sweet talk that shouldn't have been sweet but was because it came from an ice cube like him. No, she had to stop thinking about him! Aaron was off the table. It was a very long day filled with seeing other girls carry around…
