“Are you really doing this?” Aaron asked her.
“So I can’t feel… I can’t feel the way I feel?” Genevieve asked.
“You make me feel like I’m neglecting you,” said Aaron, who had just asked Johnny DePhillipo, 25, from Florida to hang out in the pool and have a beer with him.

“Yesterday I realized I was falling in love with you and that’s why I wanted to have a conversation,” Genevieve told him.
“That’s something big and scary. There are a lot of really deep feelings that I have that are hard to express and you have become so close to me. And the things you like can hurt me deeply because of how much you mean to me. And I’m falling in love with you too,” Aaron said emotionally.
