"Stay"

He was one of the new, the ones who'd been awoken at Cyberlife and never known anything but freedom.

He came to her because he was lost and didn't know where else to go.

He stayed with her and learned what “family” meant.

Their second winter they stood together, gazing at the tree he'd help her decorate.

“I thought of leaving Michigan after my husband died,” said Rose quietly. “Going somewhere with warmer weather, maybe.”

Daring, he wrapped one arm around her waist, and felt his thirium pump regulator accelerate when she leaned against him. “I'm glad you stayed.”
