Chapter 145: Business Trips

Keeley was surprised that Aaron didn't try to spend more time with her over Christmas break since it was the best time to hang out with her until she got a week off of school in March. He actually turned her down when she asked to come over and use his TV, saying he was swamped with work.

She wasn't upset about it but she had to wonder what was going on. Aaron always made time for her. What was so important about this particular work project?

He still texted her every day in brief snatches but it wasn't the same. Valentina was still out of the country and once Jennica got back from spending Christmas with Cameron's family, they only seemed to grow closer. She spent half of her nights at his place and was consumed with preparing for her auditions.
