On Wednesday, one of Keeley's classes got canceled because the professor had been throwing up all night so Aaron took that opportunity to leave work and take her ring shopping.
They went to a regular retail jewelry store inside a mall like any other normal couple. The ring she chose was a one-carat square cut diamond surrounded by a halo of smaller diamond chips on a platinum band also covered in tiny diamonds.
The style she chose was one of the most popular engagement ring trends at the time. Thousands of other women had rings just like it, which made it perfect for her.
"Congratulations, the two of you make a beautiful couple," the salesperson told them on their way out of the store.
Did they? Everyone had always talked about how mismatched they were in their first life.
