Grace was close enough to hear Aaron's words and stuck out her tongue.

Xander patted her head gently and braced himself for the scolding.

Aaron didn't dwell on it further and changed the subject.

"I attended a meeting today and ran into Jake."

Xander was startled when he heard this. Then, he regained his composure.
