Emily had worked the morning shift so she was excited to go on a real date for the first time in weeks. Mostly, she and Brandon had been hanging out in snatches between their work schedules and texting. Always texting.
She enjoyed their text conversations but for some reason she found herself comparing them to her chats with RoboCat. They hadn't really talked since she had gotten together with Brandon because she didn't want to rub things in his single face.
"What do you want to play first, Em?" Brandon asked.
She looked around the room to see what kind of games they had when she spotted a familiar head of messy blonde hair. But it couldn't be Justin because he never left his apartment unless he went to school.
Emily saw almost all of her neighbors out and about in the complex when the weather was nice but she only ever saw Justin in the context of giving rides. From what she could see, he was married to his computer.
