    Summary

    “Trying new things...” she'd called it. “I still love you, Aaron, but this is good for both of us I think. I hope you try it too.”

    “I don't have time to try anything, Haley,” he had replied quietly, defeated. The problem was that he was going to be busier than ever, doubling up on SWAT training and profiling courses while she was suddenly without anything to occupy her time for 19 weeks. That was an awful lot of time for her to explore. He had little hope that she would return to him, and maybe that was for the best. They had, perhaps, outgrown each other.

    In any case, maybe he would have liked to do some exploring too but it ended there. Aside from that night, after pizza and beer...that night that was still a blur but brought a weary smile to his face. But nothing was going to happen there. Derek had better opportunities than whatever that might have been. Of that he was certain.
