Considering how much she wanted to put the past behind her, Keeley spent way too much time thinking about her ex-husband. It wasn't entirely her fault—if he wasn't so perplexing these days she wouldn't have given him a second thought.

　　No matter how strange he was acting she needed to forget about him. She had wasted more than enough time on that man already.

　　Leaning back in her chair to stretch, she realized that with all the Aaron drama going on it had been far too long since she did anything for herself.

　　She hadn't hung out with her friends since Valentine's Day and that was a memory she would prefer to forget. All that talk about living her second life to the fullest and she had been too stressed to enjoy anything!

　　Keeley tried to think of things she wanted to do that she never had a chance for in her previous life on the commute home.

　　Getting her PhD, working in a research lab, saving up to take her father on a trip to Europe...all of that was years away from being possible. For the life of her, she couldn't think of anything she wanted to do now as a senior in high school.

　　She supposed she could try to work on getting her driver's license to help pa.s.s the time. Her dad, unlike many of the people in her building, actually owned a car.

　　In her first life she hadn't bothered getting one until Aaron insisted when they were dating. He must have been ashamed of her for not knowing how to drive.

　　Not that many teens in New York City bothered to get a license because subways were so readily available. Keeley had no intention to leave since her father was there but she supposed it would be a useful skill to have if she ever needed to go on business trips. If she fulfilled her dream of becoming a world cla.s.s researcher she wouldn't spend all of her time in the city...

　　She made up her mind to sign up for a driver's ed course when she got home but a large envelope on her doorstep sidetracked her. Keeley picked it up gingerly and nearly shrieked when she saw the insignia. Her NYU acceptance letter.

　　With all that was going on at school she nearly forgot this was coming! Her hand trembled as she remembered how excitement turned to regret the first time she opened this envelope.
