Aaron didn't say anything to Keeley about the returned earrings but a large box waited on her doorstep when she arrived home the day before the dance.
Inside was a burgundy A-line off-shoulder dress. The bodice was dotted with diamonds (she learned her lesson after the earring incident; there was no way they were fake) and layers of tulle flowed asymmetrically from front to back below the knee line.
Keeley didn't even want to think about how much this must have cost but that wasn't all. A pair of silver stilettos and the earring box she returned were inside as well.
"Why," she said weakly to the empty air as she sank onto her knees.
Why was this happening? What did this egomaniac want from her? He even looked up her real address! He wasn't like this when they were together before!
Did he only give extravagant gifts to women he wasn't in a relationship with? Honestly, that made a sad kind of sense.
