Not The Kind Of Fun I Imagined
Keeley couldn't help but compare this rehearsal dinner to her own. Lydia's and Collin's friends and family happily laughed and chatted around the table and everyone was having a good time. Hers had seemed like yet another business function.
Since not even her bridesmaids were her own choice, the only person from her side who was there at all was her dad. Both of her parents had been only children so while Keeley had some second cousins who were also taking advantage of her great-grandfather's trust, she wasn't close to any of them.
She felt abnormally out of place at her own rehearsal dinner since Aaron was busy catering to business contacts. He really had a knack for making her feel alone even when he was right there in those days.
Gloom settled in on her until the entrees arrived. Shrimp linguini alfredo ought to get her mind off of things for a little while.
