“Well, if you’re willing to train yourself away from the vegetable that shall not be named-” Feigned earnestness, though, because he really didn’t like bell peppers. “What if I love puppies, but also like bell peppers? Does that make me a no? I could learn to hate bell peppers for you.” Aaron opened his eyes with what he hoped was earnestness. Hate puppies and like bell peppers?
