The second time sitting through this New Year's Eve party was even worse than the first for Aaron because Keeley wasn't there. He knew she was nearby at a party with her friends because Anomaly told him. How he found that out, Aaron didn't even want to know.
He wanted to see her so badly it hurt. It would be so easy to slip away for just a little while…
"Aaron!" Lacy trilled. "There you are, come dance with me!" The jazz band had started playing a slow song and couples were pairing off everywhere.
"I would rather be hit by a taxi," he said flatly. "Go find Max and leave me alone."
He really didn't care to tread lightly around this witch anymore. There wasn't a point. Lacy had already attacked his woman. She couldn't do anything worse to him right now since Keeley was safely off living her own life.
"Why are you so mean to me?" she whimpered with tears in her eyes. "I love you!"
"And I think you're a speck of dust. Are you done yet?"
