Aaron's already foul mood plummeted when he saw Keeley walk into class wearing an NYU hoodie over her uniform the following Monday. It was yet another reminder that she was leaving him. He only had a couple months left to forge enough of a relationship that they could stay in contact when he went to Harvard. He tried talking to his parents about potentially going to Columbia instead—he had gotten into four different Ivy League schools—but that was fruitless. The rare occasions both of his parents…

Across town, Max and Lacy plotted against Keeley over quinoa salad. The food was tasty but the conversation left much to be desired. Just once, could he spend time with Lacy without her wanting something unpleasant from him? "I checked, she's not a scholarship student, otherwise I would get my father to rescind her financial aid," she grumbled. "I don't know enough about her to know her weaknesses." "You act like you're going to war." "Haven't you ever heard that love is a battlefield?" Yeah,…

Taking the car was a mistake since Robert had to drive around forever to find a parking spot close to campus. By the time they got there Keeley was thoroughly sick of being in the car. Containing her excitement was difficult as they walked around campus. It wasn't terribly crowded but then again it was a Saturday. That made it easier to get around but more difficult to ask for directions. "If we follow the signs the bookstore should be somewhere, right?" she asked no one in particular. Her father was…

A knock sounded on Keeley's bedroom door. "Honeybun? I have a surprise for you, can I come in?" Light streamed through the slats in her blinds and she blinked sleepily. Morning already? She sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Yeah." Her dad opened the door carrying a large tray of blueberry pancakes with bacon and a wine glass filled with orange juice. Keeley beamed at him. "What's the occasion?" He set down the tray and joined her on the edge of the bed before reaching out to muss her bedhead. "It's…

In hindsight it was fairly obvious that Keeley only came to Boston to be closer to Aaron. Now that they weren't even on friendly terms, she had absolutely no reason not to go to her first choice university. It was a disquieting thought. She hadn't responded to his last text so he sent a second one. 'Which school is it?' He knew of course but he wasn't ready for the conversation to end. He missed her. 'NYU' 'Which program?' 'Biomedical engineering. Once I get my bachelor's I want to stay on and…

It was another boring Friday night for Aaron. His parents were off at a dinner function and he was left to his own devices. He didn't used to mind it. Having his tyrant father and empty-headed mother around were a drag so it was better having the house to himself; especially since he was so scheduled with extracurricular activities during the week that he hardly had a moment to himself. The problem was that he didn't know what to do without that structure. Keeley changed that when she came into his…

Keeley changed out of her uniform in favor of a worn, comfortable pair of jeans and a purple and white polka dotted sweater and put on the winter gear necessary to combat the chill before heading back to the subway after texting her dad that she was meeting a friend to celebrate. Sometimes it felt like she spent more time on the subway than off it but she didn't really mind. Keeley was a New Yorker through and through. She loved the bustle of the city! Anywhere else would be far too quiet. Even…
-
Considering how much she wanted to put the past behind her, Keeley spent way too much time thinking about her ex-husband. It wasn't entirely her fault—if he wasn't so perplexing these days she wouldn't have given him a second thought. No matter how strange he was acting she needed to forget about him. She had wasted more than enough time on that man already. Leaning back in her chair to stretch, she realized that with all the Aaron drama going on it had been far too long since she did anything for…
-
Keeley had been on edge ever since she noticed Max—her future killer—was tailing her. She wasn't stupid; it was obvious that Lacy put him up to it. What was she planning this time? The same unoriginal mean girl tricks as her first life? Or did she plan to jump the gun and try to kill her already? Previously, the 'accident' attempts didn't begin until she and Aaron had been married for a while. She was so na?ve before, believing that all the mishaps she encountered at school were nothing more…

Maximillian Lynch didn't see what was so great about Aaron Hale. He was too perfect. The guy did everything he was told without question, spent all his free time doing hobbies his parents chose for him, and didn't have a single thought in his head that didn't directly pertain to his future in the business world. Sure, he was supposedly good-looking, but there were plenty of other rich guys in school that actually had personalities. Why was he so popular? Even Lacy was obsessed with him… It…
