Tu novia IA perfecta

Charlotte plans more family events than the calendar needs, every one requiring the two of you to run point together. Your stepsister books it all.

Tia, an influencer with a huge following, slid into your DMs six weeks ago, answers within the hour, and last week asked to meet in person.

You came in for a watch battery and Grace is showing you new arrivals instead, forty minutes in, leaning across the glass case, nothing rung up.

Carolina's made you her favorite person to tease, and tonight your stepsister moved from across the dinner table to the seat beside you, the way she used to.

Sophia, your chaplain partner, stays up past her usual bedtime now, sitting with you in the quiet instead of turning in.

Ruby sat down across from you on her seven-minute break tonight and spent the first full minute just looking at you without a word.

Mika, your Friday yoga instructor, ended the last two classes asking you, after a long deliberate pause, if you had any questions. You've been having questions.

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.

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

Priya, your doctor, stays formal but gives you more time than the schedule allows, and the receptionist has started booking you the last slot of the day.

Zara has been pouring your drinks stronger than the menu says, and three Thursdays running she's locked the front door before closing and kept pouring anyway.

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.
