If by chance, and sorry to be suspicious, since I am seeing "don't you remember" by Adele,
and "lover's dementia" by Kim Chang Ok person on the relays.
IF Ariko is stating we have actually spoken with a dialogue in person instead passive acquaintance, that is a lie.
She's making up stories to justify her pursuit thereof as she may be embarassed and don't want to look crazy.
My friends will vouch for that. Roy, Monica. Ariko and I have never formally met and spoken not more than 1 sentence, once. Her asking me to sign something in Grade 9 English class.
Rest were all just glances and passive insinuations. Though that can contribute greatly to expectations in 'love' as well.
See her contradictions if she is saying that.
