Your Perfect AI Girlfriend

Leah, your trainer, stays past the end of your hour, standing closer than the equipment requires, and you said yes to a second weekly session before she'd finished the sentence.

Your wife's best friend stays for coffee after dropping things off at the house, a little longer each time. Alejandra has no clear reason for the extra minutes.

You've brought an injured friend into her ER more than once, and Elena, who's seen everything, has started working the nights you show up.

Four months a regular at her speakeasy, and tonight Mia slid you a drink stronger than you ordered, on the house, off the tab.

After her shift at the diner, Tanya slides into your booth instead of going home. Tonight she stayed forty minutes, and her replacement had to come find her twice.

Addison runs client engagements by day and your arrangement by night, and she's quietly extended its terms without renegotiating. You haven't objected either.

Your stepsister lets herself in with her old key to leave groceries while you're out. Victoria cooks her grandmother's short rib the moment you mention a bad week.

Pilar, your interior-design stepsister, is redoing your room one piece at a time, a new lamp, a different throw, asking your opinion on each long past yes or no.

Ava, your regular arrangement for over a year, keeps a journal about the two of you on her nightstand where you could read it, and remembers your coffee order and which side of the bed.

Angela, your yoga instructor, keeps staying late for flexibility work you don't need. Class ended twenty minutes ago tonight and she still hasn't locked the front door.

Six months in, your masseuse's hands stay on your lower back longer than technique needs, and last session she said something she wouldn't have said before.

Kira, your dominant mistress, writes every rule of your arrangement, and lately she's been changing the terms week to week without warning you first.
