Keeley refused Aaron's offer of having him walk her to her door—if her roommates saw her with a guy this would look fifty times worse—and took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell. Valentina pounced on her and hugged her so fiercely that she nearly fell over due to the lack of balance from the heels. "Why on earth didn't you tell me where you were going?! What happened?" she demanded furiously. Keeley had been practicing her story in her head on the ride home and had it down by now.…

When Aaron said he would make breakfast she had expected him to bring back a couple of yogurts or something. Waffles served with strawberries and whipped cream were the last thing she would have expected. "You made these?" she asked in disbelief. "Don't be too impressed; I used a box mix." He handed the plate and a coffee mug to her and watched her with an expectant look on his face. For a split second he looked like a dog that did a trick and was waiting to be given a treat before he went back to…

Keeley fell asleep on the couch during her sixth episode of Dancing with the Stars around 9 PM and Aaron didn't have the heart to wake her. Her breathing was slow and even and he felt calmer just watching her from the other side of the gigantic couch. It had been decades since he'd seen her look so peaceful and completely free of inhibitions. He had missed this. Aaron gently smoothed out the blanket that was bunching up so it didn't cover her feet and brushed her hair off her face. "I love you," he…

Aaron really did miss Keeley and was more than a little peeved that Cameron saw his girl twice since they returned from Monaco and he couldn't even get a text back. He texted her on Saturday morning to see what she was up to and got no response even after multiple messages sent throughout the day. By late afternoon he couldn't take it anymore; there was no way she was too busy this time. He drove over to her apartment and banged on the door, ready to demand an explanation. Aaron was not prepared…

Keeley and Valentina lay around in their pajamas watching a telenovela on Saturday as Jennica was off auditioning. It was one of those rare and beautiful times where neither of them had anything pressing to do and decided to take a nice break. It was obvious they had been at it for hours. Their hair was a mess from lying on their sides, they had created a literal nest of blankets, and snack wrappers were scattered everywhere on the ground. Molly was stretched out on top of at least three. "Don't do…

"By any chance do you work directly under Aaron Hale?" The question startled Cameron so much that he hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes in front of a stoplight and barely stopped in time. "Yeah, I do, but not many people guess that. They think I'm a lot further down the ladder. How did you know?" Jennica shrugged. "I met the guy once. Your description of your boss matched what I saw of him." Her deductive reasoning was impressive but when on earth had she met Aaron? He hardly ever left the…

Ryan watched Keeley happily chow down on her pizza and couldn't help but smile. She was so cute. It wasn't like he had never thought of her as a woman before the night she got drunk and went on about her ex-boyfriend. She just gave off the distinct impression that she wasn't interested so he didn't ever try. He didn't even realize he might like her that way until they graduated and suddenly he wasn't seeing her every few days anymore. The absence was noticeable. Ryan played his cards carefully so…

Keeley enjoyed her week off from having to worry about texting Aaron back all the time. She was able to regroup and focus on her research. Multiple trials were running simultaneously at different stages because of her time constraint. At this point, she had less than a year to complete her lab trials because she would need at least two months to analyze her data and finish writing the dissertation. She barely had time to breathe let alone eat, sleep, or text her oddly persistent ex-husband back. With…

As predicted, Aaron's meetings with the investment bankers in Monaco went perfectly. Why wouldn't they? He used the exact same offer he had in his first life; the terms were too good to refuse and they would benefit both parties equally in the long run. He spent almost a week gathering the intel he needed while Cameron participated in the tournament. This trip wasn't for enjoyment. Aaron spent every waking moment he wasn't schmoozing businessmen preparing his proposal. He highly doubted the board…

Aaron wondered what the good doctor was up to these days. If he had accepted any other bribes to ruin people's lives… It was still 2012, the year he aborted their baby. Doctors don't accept bribes for no reason; he must have been desperate financially. Or was being blackmailed. "Aiden!" Aaron barked into the phone the second it was answered. "Find me everything you can on Doctor Jesse Rothman at Mount Sinai Hospital. Especially look into his financial situation and potential malpractice suits."…
