"Why are you calling yourself dumb now?" he asked worriedly.
"I feel dumb for pouring my heart and sob story out on you like this. My life has been a melodrama and the sad truth is I see no end to it. Actually it's comical, dumb Ari falls for the dashing hero who she is helping to reunite with his lost love. The couple reunites and lives happily ever after."
"What happens to Ari after the couple reunites?"
"The hero forgets about her and she is left out in the cold like she never existed."
"What does Ari want?" he asked meaningfully.
