Aaron had been surprised by Keeley's actions today, to say the least. She teased him, tried to cheer him up, took care of him, and told him she didn't hate him all in one go. It all seemed too good to be true.
Granted, she also said their relationship had been doomed to fail from the start. It was the only realistic part of all of this; otherwise he would have believed this morning was nothing but a beautiful dream.
He supposed it had been. If he hadn't been a Hale…if they had been two regular people who fell in love, they might have had a chance. They really didn't have anything in common except a mutual desire to be together.
Aaron didn't believe that you had to have things in common to make a relationship work. They hadn't worked because they never learned how to compromise fairly (schemes against them aside).
