"When Aaron first drops the L-bomb, he's shocked as Rhett says nothing back," our Neighbours source shares.
"He turns to Jane Harris and Nicolette Stone for some advice and they both encourage him to be honest with Rhett about his feelings, rather than just moping.
"Fortunately, when Aaron tries to subtly clear the air, he discovers that Rhett simply didn't hear him when he announced his love."
Still feeling sheepish and like the moment has passed, Aaron keeps quiet about what he said.

Fortunately, Jane is on hand to step in as she lets Rhett know what happened.
"Rhett is mortified that he didn't hear such a crucial moment for their relationship," our insider adds. "It was a case of bad luck, rather than a sign of him not being interested.
"Keen to make amends, Rhett uses a game of charades to confess his love to Aaron in return – and all is well again."
Just when it seems like nothing can stop Aaron and Rhett, they learn that Rhett's daughter Tilly and her mum will soon be moving to Adelaide. They want Rhett to join them there.
Aaron is put on the spot as he wonders what this means for his own future…
