Aaron was still in shock after hearing that Chloe was in love with Elly, he was even more shocked to find out that she knew about it.

"When did you tell Elly?" Aaron asked.

"Do we have to talk about this?"

"Yes we do. It's important..."

"She found out in a letter I wrote her".

"The Christmas card?"

"Yes. The bloody Christmas card".

"Why did you write it her?"

"Because things were super weird between the two of us since the kiss!" Chloe explained.

"Wait? Hold up... the two of you kissed?"

"Yes we did, well I kissed her".

"When?"

"The day she lost her job, I was round hers trying to cheer her up and I got caught up in the moment and kissed her" Chloe explained.

"Did she kiss you back?" Aaron asked.

"I'm not answering these questions right now. I need to get to work" Chloe replied. She couldn't deal with this onslaught of questions, especially after what had just happened between her and Elly in the Park.

"Chloe don't walk away".

"Im late" Chloe replied as she continued to walk away from Aaron.

Aaron knew he needed to figure out a way to get Chloe's mind off of Elly, he decided to ring his mum to see if she had any ideas.

"Mum..." Aaron said.

"Yes sweetheart?" Fay replied.

"Can you ever remember Chloe having a serious relationship with a woman?"

"That's a very random question... but yes a girl called Mel. Why?"

"Long story but I think she's lonely and i was thinking if she saw an ex again that might help".

"But she's an ex for a reason Aaron. Look I don't know the whole story between the two of them but I don't think it ended well" Fay explained.

"Do you have her number?" Aaron asked.

"Aaron I really don't think this will end well".

"Trust me I need a distraction for Chloe. I can't explain things fully to you but trust me it's the only option"

"Fine I'll send it to you but when this all ends up in tears don't come running to me ok?" Fay replied.

"Fine I won't. But thanks mum I love you".

"Love you too" Fay replied.

Aaron waited for the text to come through with the number of Chloe's ex, as soon as the text arrived a smile appeared on his face.

"Love you mum" Aaron shouted as he kissed his phone.

He wasted no time at all in sending Mel a text, he didn't really know what to say but just went for it anyway.

Mel, this is really random but I'm Chloe's brother. And I just wanted to let you know that if you were ever in Erinsborough that she would love to have a drink. Aaron

Aaron headed home, he knew he was going to need to try extra hard not to act differently around Elly. By the time he got home he had had a reply from Mel, it didn't say much.

Thanks, Good to know.

Aaron didn't know if that meant she was coming to Erinsborough or not.

"Hey babe, you had a good day?" David asked as Aaron walked through the door.
