Another possibility is she manifested the entire encounter in her head as a way of processing her feeling for Hiroshi. It’s a remote possibility, but a possibility none the less…
I was sort-of in a situation like this. Many years ago I was in a temp job (2 or 3 months and out) with about 30 other temps. As I did my work I listened to a guy cozy up to the prettiest girl in the group (who I liked looking at but that was it). He looked and sounded like a pickup artist, and she didn’t like him. But he knew his stuff. As the weeks went by he paid her just the right amount of attention to soften her dislike. On the last day of work, I went up to her and told her what was happening. Her wing-girl immediatly pounced on what I said, saying “see? See? I told you!” And I walked away.

I’m sorry Mindy, I don’t think your insult is going to work on those two sex bombs.
Reaction and cogitation time was just a trifle slow for immediate effect, this time around.
Doth the lady protest to herself just a bit too much?
“My Hiroshi”…?
Yeah, no romantic feelings there AT ALL

“… my Hiroshi…” ?!
Tradition. It sorta rhymes with “My Sharona”.
Bit of a give-away, though. Probably best that those females weren’t there to hear it… they’d probably have used it against her somehow.
Thank you for saying what I was thinking.
Go and work on the other end of this, Mindy.
Sure there aren’t any feelings there, Mindy?
Also, “witless fustilugs” is now in my repertoire. That’s amazing.

Mindy makes those two look plain when she removes her glamour
Slow on the uptake, but forward motion is achieved.
Boy this feels familiar… like every argument I’ve ever not quite had.
