Everybody had Valentine's Day plans but Aaron and it put him in a sour mood. He absolutely would have asked Keeley out if he wasn't going to be in Chicago that day to meet with some business contacts that would be vital for his hostile takeover.
Cameron was planning on proposing after taking Jennica to see an opera. Aiden and Nova were going to have a candlelit dinner on two different sides of the world via video chat. And he would be stuck in meetings.
If he could just get the meetings out of the way earlier in the day and find a flight…it was only two hours from Chicago to Manhattan by plane.
It was a stupid plan hatched out of desperation. A lot would be left to chance. One tiny delay and he would miss it, disappointing her, which was why he didn't ask.
I feel like nobody knows Chess. It's super underrated and is my favorite musical of all time. I totally thought of Keeley and Aaron while listening to this song the other day, which is why I included it.
