224 Go To Sleep, Aaron

Keeley happily consumed her tacos after a rough day. The few days before and after the anniversary of her mom's and Kaleb's deaths were always rough but this year was a little worse than usual because she was worrying about her dad. He had been isolating himself lately—she noticed that his usual work friends he spent time with on Fridays and Saturdays were posting pictures without him on social media.

Over the years, she had tried to convince him to date a few times with no success. The last time she tried was before she went off to NYU, saying that he didn't have to worry about her anymore now that she was moving out and should focus on himself. He gave her a sad little half smile and said "you're the only girl I need" before asking her to drop it.

Should she try again? It had been nearly seven years.
