Very cute. Excellent ending. I think it’s algorithm, not algorhythm.

Looks like we "regular" men are going to have to step up our game if this is the future.

I like the way you've told this eerie little tale in the form of conversation, without any narration.

Very cool, Sharron.

It's a brave new world, Jane.

HaHa Sharon.... The title should be β€œEvery Woman’s Fantasy”.... or you could change genders and make it β€œEvery Man’s Fantasy”.

But then life would be so boring. Discovering each other is part of the magic.

I mean, if you can deactivate him whenever you want, it might not be such a bad experience! πŸ˜„

What an awesome story, Sharron. I love the way you structured it. The dialogue/ back and forth is incredibly smooth.

AI'd be a match of Dan. Just enough different in many ways to never be boring. Its good that we have different apartments so we can do what we wish undisturbed, leave chores till whenever and no one gets upset. All the dishes in the sink are our own. All the fingerprints on the cabinets and fridge are our own. Always pleased to see each other with a smooch and goodly hugs. Fine discourse on any subject. Stew for you, RiceKrispies for me... and its all good. Lots of show n tell for what we did apart. Each problem solvers for half our joint lives. Work divided by who can do which. Professional "rent a brain" for each other. Lots of laughs. lots of smiles. ))

Two friends timed out last week. Reminders of mortality and devastation to come.... but not today.

Very intriguing vision of the future, Sharron. But I think we need rainy days to appreciate sunny weather, and the same goes for spats in our relationships. For one thing, Jane and android will be missing out on the glory of makeup sex.

This is fabulous, Sharron! You've opened so many thoughts up for me with this post!

Hmmmm, I think I'd quite like to be the one in charge of *my* android's programming.....! πŸ˜‰
