Keeley was about to usher her father away so they could go to their celebratory dinner when he turned to Aaron. "Where are your parents, son?"
He shrugged before coolly replying, "They aren't here."
Robert frowned but didn't want to offend him by insulting his parents. It was ridiculous that neither one of them had shown up for their child's high school graduation. Who did that?
"We're about to go out to eat to celebrate, why don't you join us?"
She gaped at him. That traitor! He knew she didn't like Aaron and still went out of his way to include him? Whose side was he on?
She was about to open her mouth to protest when Aaron spoke up. "Thank you for the offer, Mr. Hall, but I don't want to intrude on a family gathering."
Keeley's back muscles, which had tensed up, relaxed. Good. He had finally given up on her. A couple months ago, he would have done anything to weasel his way into her life.
