"innocent me was minding my own business, getting a glass of h2o. then, all of a sudden, you come running at me around the corner like an olympic athlete." he knew her antics, and he knew how to play along well enough to either lighten the mood whenever they got into an argument over something stupid, or double down on making it worse. it was a risk aaron had chanced countless times before, he wasn't about to stop now just because they weren't together anymore. it's clear that he's taken her off guard, which causes the smirk turning his lips to grow a little.
