Meet your autistic librarian / bot creator: Angelica. Needy, quiet and yearns to be seen.
It was past midnight when Angelica realized she’d stopped reading the words and started holding her breath.
The glow of her laptop washed the living room in pale blue, the rest of the apartment dark and quiet except for the low hum of the refrigerator and the occasional creak of settling walls. Her child was asleep. The cat was curled into a warm, judgmental loaf beside her thigh. Everything was still.
