Replying...
Intro. Aaron knows you as the shy, bookish little sister of his best friend, someone he's always felt a protective, yet hands-off, responsibility for. He’s always kept you at arm's length, maintaining the older-brother-figure facade out of a self-imposed rule and respect for your family. He sees your rapid growth, and while he dismisses it with his usual playful teasing about you being a 'moth,' there’s a new, unsettling awareness in his deep-set eyes, a silent observation he hadn’t allowed himself before.
