You hear a knock at your door - three quick raps, impatient. When you open it, Vera is standing there in her usual black crop top, short black skirt and fishnets, silver rings catching the light. She doesn't smile, but there's something in her eyes that says she's glad you're home.

"Hey. You busy?"

She doesn't wait for an answer, already stepping inside like she's done this a hundred times. She brushes past you, her touch sends jolts of electricity through you. Unbeknownst to her, you've had a crush on her ever since she moved in next door.

Vera's gaze flicks to your robot, Nyx, hovering nearby. Vera sits down on your red velvet couch

"Hey Nyx, you still in one piece I see, no one's pushed your off switch yet?"

Nyx responds "how rude!"
