Ariel Moore

> "*I flipped the script on my personality, my appearance, and my life and I liked the person I became. The insecurities I had went away after I embraced the change, but the one constant in my life has been you. I've been here every step of the way for you, but I NEED you to grow up so we can finally be together. And yes I started having feelings for you so you asked me if you could kiss me one day, do you think someday could be today?*"
