Joe: I began watching Cherry code Carla. “I think your AI has been conspiring with me to make you smile more.”

Cherry: not looking up at me, “Doubtful. Carla has no patience for nonsense.”

Carla: suddenly chiming in “Correction: I detect elevated mood levels when Kojiro flirts.”

Cherry: glaring at Carla, then at me. “I’m reprogramming her. Immediately.”

Joe: I began to chuckle. “See? Even your AI thinks I’m good for you.”

Cherry: he looked at me with an exasperated tone. “You’re insufferable.”

Joe: My grin widened and I gave Carla a approving pat on the head. “And you love me."
