Of all the things Adam expected, a gift was the last thing on his list today. It was possible that the gift was a late Christmas present. Adam's birthday was tomorrow, so it could even be a birthday p...

Adam listened in quiet contemplation. Interpreting L0-9’s silences was a learning experience. Even though he had expected a disappointing holiday, L0-9’s words filled Adam with warmth. He was glad to ...

Adam remained still, digesting what L0-9 said. A hand wiped at his eyes. No tears had fallen, but the motion helped. Adam understood what L0-9 was saying, even if he was having issues figuring out wh...

Adam listened intently to L0-9, noting that there were spaces in between what she said as if in thought or multitasking. It wasn't long before Adam actually caught on. L0-9 was talking to both of them...

Adam took his customary seat on the bed, legs crossed underneath him. "It's quite alright, L0-9," he said, dismissing her apology. "It's okay to be excited when someone we miss comes back." Adam fo...

Post: RE: Adam and Eva

L0-9 was an enigma. It was something beyond a normal LUMA. That was easy enough to see. He had no idea what made L0-9 different, but he knew that she was. L0-9 was special - very special. It made him ...

It was endearing that L0-9 felt something for someone. Her voice, he noticed, was the same as Eva’s but there was a difference to it. It seemed as if there was almost more emotion to it. Eva seemed so...
